I often see people (including myself) confused in Life about what to do, what to pursue, what they can do to make themselves happy. They are literally perplexed in making their call. There are many stories where people, including myself, become frustrated from the Nine to Five Death Toll.

Yet, the only decision they can reach is to continuing to that grind unless something magical happens to them automatically. Doesn't works this way!

I see my own friends grinding themselves during college for things they never wanted and now they're stuck as if there is no other option. There was this friend of mine who was good at communications, engaging in situations and solving problems. He was a people's person.

Yet, due to the social insecurities he decided to follow the regular Nine to Five grinding himself and doing shit that he knows he hates but now thinks too late to opt out.

In contrast to that, I've also been close to people who exactly know what they want and pursue their call no matter what!

All she wanted to get engaged in work and be an independent woman be it some job in a BPO, some tuition classes in the neighbourhood, anything but sitting idle and criticising about life and how unfair it is to most of us. She, then got married to a business class person.

Just when I was thinking that her life was over and she'd fallen into the trap of things that she'll crib for life, she tackled it intelligently by joining women entrepreneur groups in her society, started teaching students and simultaneously started selling things on online marketplace. Waoh! That's more than a normal person does. Hustle pays you.

I see and say to myself, that's the kind of person I wanna be.

I was having a hard time in making my career. I was doing a-lot-of things. Seriously, a lot. It took time for me to realise that not everything I do is not worth my time. I had so much on my plate that it was really difficult to make a right decision.

I was working Nine to Five (9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, to be precise), looking for another job, upgrading my skills since I was NOT GOOD ENOUGH, handling operations at my Chemical factory, started my own personal brand and an IT venture doing things and building stuff for FREE! (yes, you heard it right!), started writing blogs and documenting my journey, volunteering with a foundation in helping them create a digital presence and engaged with like minded individuals to start multiple small businesses to create an alternate income source. It was really difficult to choose one.

To be honest, I didn't knew what I want. But, what I did knew were the things that destroy my inner peace and I didn't want. I started discarding. Things, people, relations, products, businesses; anything that destroyed my mindset wasn't worth my time.

Turned out, that was the thing I need. Things started falling into place. Least of all, I knew whom to deny and what to do with my time.

Whenever, you get stuck with multiple things that make a web in your brain and tortures you, discard. Discard everything that doesn't needs your attention.
