A Gift Overdue to the Deserving one

Have you ever faced a situation where you don’t know where you should go, or where shouldn’t? Where you want to know the answer to why you are doing and what you are doing?

In our journey towards a sustainable career with a successful life, everyone faces a situation where they got stuck because of the thoughts pushing up in their mind.

One of the most terrifying situations is that when you start something and have a smooth and exciting journey then eventually your thoughts start making you confused about your actions.

This is exactly what happened to me after getting my first job and a really amazing internship in a firm of the highly enthusiastic and far visioned individual.

That time I asked these questions to many of my teachers, friends, elders and got the answer which is somewhat unacceptable for me.

There was a time when my thoughts start fighting with my inner me.

And believe me…

It was very terrifying to live with entangled thoughts.

This is where I skim through my contact and friend lists.
From years ago, I’m following a formula to get yourself surrounded by those like whom you want to be.

One of those is Erik Bergman.

When I start following him on Instagram, he was at the initial steps of his career when he used to do all the work.

While skimming and scrolling down to my previous chats on Instagram, I found his profile ( had a conversation before a month of that situation).

His profile comes in front of me as like a twinkle bell in an isolated environment.

This is when I texted him and he helped me with the best advice.

Don’t reject yourself until the market rejects you!

And now, I’m really very thankful to him for the words he said to inspire me.

Indeed, words are more powerful and magical than anything else in this world.
