This is all about the journey that drags you to the point where you want to be at your very early age. why do you want to be there? Maybe, everyone else at your age is already on that targeted stage, but you think you are not doing enough in your life. On the other hand, This is The same journey that shows you your capabilities, strengths, and energy of doing something that you never think is going to be done by you.

Yes! This is life.

I remember when I start my high school studies; I was so energetically searching for ways to earn money for my daily living expenses. My father was a steel molder in a semi-government organization and my mother was running a small home-based business. Long story short my parents struggle a lot to make us able to stand tall in this huge world. I wanted to take some of their burden on my own shoulders. This journey started at the age of 18. I searched a lot about online earnings and one day I contacted a person who told me to write a one-page article as a test and send it in 3–4 days to get a job.
You won’t believe, that step I took was horrifying. Why? Because that showed me how incapable, weak and lethargic I was. My brain was unable to rephrase a paragraph and write even one line by myself. That stage was an alarm for me. This stage comes in everyone’s life. Honestly, it all depends on how you are going to take that burden of failure, either you will become a loser for a lifetime or you will survive like a champion.
I took this failure as a challenge. I left thinking about content writing and start focusing on creative thinking and learning the English language. I was very sure when to take the 2nd step and on the 1st step, I spent 10 years without thinking about the time I will start content writing. I was so contented to learn to speak and write the English language and creative writing that I almost forgot the aim to earn. I was vaguely indulged in learning different aspects of life, trying to improve my character in all ways. It’s been 5 years since I started writing poetry. During all this time I achieved so many other milestones. I did my M.Phil. in management sciences, got married, have 3 kids, own a small clothing business. Everything is going so smoothly and I don’t need to do writing to earn, but at the back of my brain the missing part was these “writings”. Today it’s 4:54am and I wrote this whole story in one sitting.
Conclusion of the story:
It doesn’t matter how long you stand on your 1st step, what really matters is, you are taking further steps confidently.
