The other day, I was looking at my story stats and it was sad.

Verrrrry Sad!!

It looks like that old piece of bracelet you received as a friendship day gift back when you were a 10-year-old which is in pretty bad condition but you don't want to give up on it or throw it away.

Yeah, it feels something of that sort.

Like the very old me, I was feeling a bit disheartened about my earnings and the reads. So I did what I had to do.

I sulked for hours about it with my husband.

After listening to my blabbers for a few minutes, like the Yoda he is, very subtly, he throws one big rock of wisdom at me.

"Remember your jobs in the corporate world? You got them very easily, in no time. Things that came to you so easily weren't good for you. So maybe, this is taking time because it's meant to be something great for you."

Woah! What a way to look at things, I exclaimed!

I bow to thee legendary Jedi master! Your sword of wise words has struck deep into me.

That one simple thought immediately flipped my mind. How looking at things from a different perspective can change the world for you, isn't it?

Here I was, moping a few minutes ago and how this one thought completely changed my stance!

Thank God! At least I made the right choice of marrying a wise humanoid banyan tree.

Of course, good things take time. Anything that's instant is hazardous. And what better way to understand than to just take a peep at my past?

I was the first one, actually the first girl to be placed among a batch of 120 students of Mechanical Engineering.

I bagged the first company during my MBA placements, even though I didn't like the role or the company.

I secured a great offer as a Business Analyst despite lacking experience, which was a requirement for other companies.

My career was actually not that a struggle. The battle was in going through it. My heart was never at it but things came easily to me. But of course, I had to pay a big price with my health.

In contrast to that, writing is something which I love to do.

The exalting feeling of liberation after typing out 300 words of pure love is nothing in comparison to the annual hikes.

In no way, I'm against the profession or career choices. It's simply something that I was never meant to do.

Of course, I could have made better career choices back in the day. But you don't always dare to do what's right for you. Sometimes, the courage comes later. Or maybe, I had to venture this path only to find the right destination.

Who knows?

What's important is what every road sign on the road to my school said-

Better late than never.

I might be late, I don't know.

Only time will say.

But at least, it's not going to be a "never" for me.
