damn. this was very interesting. i never went for MBA even after my parents continued to sell the idea to me for years under the guise of "potential, can do it, etc etc"
on some days, it started to feel a bit flattering that Oh, these guys think I am capable of this but now when I look back I realise what a poor way it is to remind someone of their potential and guide it towards something that perhaps you want them to achieve. a healthier, empathetic way is to just make the person feel validated and acknowledged for who they are and wish them luck for whoever they want to be in the future. So here it goes - You're doing great and even if you aren't you're still doing great.
This exactly reminded me of what happened few days back and how i realised that someone’s expectations of what you can do should not stress you 😄. Lovely one ❤️
Right? We keep hearing these things and it makes us wonder... maybe we should be doing something with our 'potential'! But people will always have something or the other to say. How much of it can we chase?
This is very satisfying read. When everyone is moving towards excellence and it is expected out everything out there, I want to live a life driven by balance and intention. An intention to take care of aspects related to physical, mental, emotional, and intellectual well being.

Haha thank you! It’s one the sneakiest way to manipulate isn’t it? Not that it’s their intention but… you get it right?
Love the flow of words. Such ease and grace in putting your thoughts across which is simple yet satisfying!😍
And such a wonderful topic to speak about.
Thank you! It's a topic that's been on my mind for a while!
