Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.... --- The road not taken, Robert Frost
These lines by Robert Frost sum up my life choices. I always chose the path that my heart said is right. Heart and mind rarely meet, and therefore the path I took was normally not taken by others… It was not easy, and all my well-wishers, friends and family told me – “Oh it will be tough, it will be impossible, it is very difficult”.
Yet, I could not lie to self, I had to be honest with my inner voice, and therefore despite fear, despite insecurity and uncertainty of the path- I chose the one less travelled by.
Today, I can say the choice was not bad- and would like to inspire youngsters to follow their inner voice- never to be afraid to travel the path that their heart guides them to follow. And therefore:
Ne - Peur--> not afraid
Not to be afraid to follow that what is right.
My North Star
Narotam Singh is my north star, my moral compass. Whenever I am in doubt about the origin of the intention, about the consequences of my actions – not just for me- but for the greater good as well – he is the light that guides me.
My Mentors
“Show me a successful individual and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I don’t care what you do for a living—if you do it well I’m sure there was someone cheering you on or showing the way. A mentor.”
Denzel Washington, Actor, Director, and Producer
I would be lying if I say that my journey was lonely, I was blessed, very blessed with mentors- who helped and guided me, whenever the need arose. I hope I too can help and guide others towards their dream.
