Another Leap of Faith

I am excited once again. It is time to surprise my parents again. My last visit to Mumbai was in June. I made a promise to my parents that I won't visit Mumbai again untill Diwali. But promises are meant to be broken.

Mahindra organises AutoQuotient, an auto quiz for employees and may be one more version of quiz for non-employees. Thanks to my flatmate and roommate Kartik Ganesh, we cruises through first two rounds and now we are in semi-finals. This year's semi-final and final is to be held in Mumbai on 21st August Monday. I took one extra day off from work to surprise my parents on Friday. I am obviously not much into auto passion and it is mainly because of my partner that I qualified and got this opportunity. So again, where this Leap of faith comes in ?

I started reading some basic stuff about auto as soon as I came to know about semi-finals selection. My hopes are high and I am pretty confident about the win. As of now this is the only Leap of faith I'll be taking.

Going back to March and April Leap of Faith. In March I was suppose to take the most feared step but things didn't turn out as imagined. I took the leap in April and got the unexpected answer. Things were good everywhere post the failed leap.

Then in June I get some surprisingly good news which made my trip awesome But, as always the planned outings with friends and relatives didn't materialised leaving me with Bitter Trip Memories.
Life is full of roller coaster going up and down. After good long period of low phase my mood and energy level shoot up. I was on cloud nine again. So many surprises planned for some many people and again there comes a Big But. Just as my balloon of hopes and energy was rising high, someone (actually I myself) poked a pin and my hopes felt crushing down on ground. The positive peak phase lasted less than 10 days.

Forces of Nature, Myself or someone else, one of the three doesn't enjoy seeing me Happy and Smiling. I may temporary get bogged down but I am here to rise. I may or may not have same energy levels as before but I am going to rise. I am going to imagine my dream world with open  eyes and turn those dreams into reality. I won't give up easily on any aspect of my life.

It's the battle of Mental Strength, Hopes, Faith and Believe.
Mental Strength - helps you to keep moving with a smiling face even if things are not going your way.
Hopes - There will always be a better tomorrow.
Faith - You need to have faith in your support system (which includes my near and dear ones) and your methodology.
Believe - There is no use of above three qualities if you don't believe in your self.
