Unsettling Thoughts:
Since last 9 months there were so many
changes happened around me. Some were welcoming, some were not-so welcoming,
and some were really bothering. In this entire duration I was working and
working hard to understand the situation and tackle to best of my beliefs.
There were peaks and valleys in my entire thought process. I had to stay calm
and decide the path forward.
I closed my
eyes and started to look back in my life to find some clues. Pictures were
rushing through my eyelids. But every time pausing when there was a hope, instinct,
creativity and most important a Dream. My dreams had made me live and pursue to
see the unseen paths of life.
I had a dream to be an Entrepreneur. But in the process of life, somehow it was getting blurred. This was unsettling to me time to time.

Challenges:
There were financial challenges though. How could I take a
step forward to quit a job which give me 6 figures salary? The road ahead
looked to be turbulent with financial instability and unforeseen incidents. I
sat for long hours and scribbled numbers on my balance spreadsheets (thanks to managerial
dashboard preparation activities that I did for many years). The numbers were
not so good.
In between
my mother had heart blockage attack, near distress situation. She was
hospitalized. Now she is breathing through a pacemaker. Again, my father struck
with another medical issue to see. His vision was getting weaker and impaired.
I held back my dream for some time. But there is hope, creativity and the dream itself.
My wife
Ashwini helped me all the time to always remember my dream and followed
numerous occasions where I can save some money to pursue my dream someday. She
is always a constant feed for my energy.
Stamping
on my decision:
My unsettling thoughts came to the
rest when I finally decided to follow my dreams. I told my parents about my
decision. Though they were worried, but still they believed in me. I resigned
from my job. I quit my full-time stable job for my full-time entrepreneurship
journey. This will be going to be the complete transformational decision of my
life.
Dream of the Future:
I’m going to start my new life, a new beginning for the new
chapter as the Entrepreneur. What could be the best day to start, it’s Thursday
14 November 2019, a children’s day. I take it as a birth day of my new
professional life to learn, play, build and evolve as a child do.
Great decision brother; surely a tough one but sometimes we have to let go our comfort zone (here,as you said, it's your six digit salary😄) to hold on to our dreams. And a person as hard working as you are, I am sure you will achieve it soon enough. We are always with you.
