Write the Story of Your Life

 

"If someone asks me a question, 'What is it you see when you look out the window that is visible but not yet seen by others' I will answer, 'I see a world filled with people with a huge potential lying untapped. If I can identify their strengths and inspire them to unlock their potential, I feel that I have made a difference in the world.'" —Professor M.S. Rao

 

Throughout my life, I believed in two things―continuous learning and constant feedback. Having reached 57 years, I decided to take feedback about my life. I wanted to share it with storytelling. It gives me a sense of satisfaction that I led my life with purpose and meaning and provided a ray of hope and inspiration to the next generations. It helps me leave my legacy to the future generations that I contributed my best despite financial constraints and family challenges and despite hailing from humble origins with toxic family background.

 

 

Examining my Life

 

I have made several mistakes in my life leading to many challenges in life. I was working hard but I was overconfident that my hard work would lead to success. I did not realize that distractions and disturbances from the external environment would ruin my prospects of achieving success. I made the mistake of believing people blindly. I was cheated by others several times since I trusted them blindly. Later, I realized that I must be careful in judging the people. I made the mistake of trusting my family members that they would support me when I failed in business. Unfortunately, they backed out when I failed in business. They thought that I would become a liability for them. I never expected that my siblings would betray me and snatch away the little share of property that I was supposed to get my parents. Fortunately, my friends from the Indian Air Force helped me overcome my challenges. I was blessed to join the Indian Air Force where I got friends with a positive attitude.

 

Life taught me several lessons. I planned many things but destiny took me to totally different paths. As a result, I led a life with diversified experiences including military, business, teaching, training, consultancy, and writing background. I learned that life is never a straight line. I still struggle with financial challenges because I never cared for money. I cared for sharing my knowledge freely with the world. I cared for grooming one million students as global leaders by 2030. It landed me in several financial challenges. My continues writing led me to severe back pain. I overcame it through physiotherapy exercises and discipline.

 

To conclude, examine your life, share your strengths and weaknesses, unveil your failures and successes with integrity to enable your next generations to learn lessons from your life to evolve as better citizens and excel as better leaders. Life is great.

 

"The good leaders do the best thing in the prevailing situation whereas the great leaders do the right thing in any situation irrespective of the effects and outcomes." ―Professor M.S. Rao
