After the initial few days, I decided to blog. It was scary at first. My brain, mind and body resisted. What if I was totally wrong. What if my understanding was lacking and language incomprehensive. The decision was getting challenged. But I decided to challenge them to see the other side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I Decided to Act Without Knowing the Result<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In most of the important decisions about our life: career, partner, relationship etc. there is no way of knowing if what you are going to do will be &#8216;right&#8217; or not. There is no one telling which career is right for you or if this relationship will lead to happiness. There is uncertainty and doubt lingering around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"287\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/vayuacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/images-8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1854\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact is: sometimes you&nbsp;just have to&nbsp;<em>do things<\/em>&nbsp;for no other reason than to do them.

Both are healthy and stimulate growth because they nurture change and passion and excitement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Reasons:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>blogging sounds interesting.<\/li><li>it looked cool on my resume.<\/li><li>called up family members and told them. <\/li><li>it is a productive activity and I was passionate about the subject.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I Received:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>a purpose though I did not have a goal.<\/li><li>I learnt to deal with a thousand failures but did not let them become a disaster. <\/li><li>I discovered how to engage my readers. <\/li><li>ability to do things with no expectations. <\/li><li>joy of starting something without knowing where in the hell it&#8217;s going. <\/li><li>ability to face fear and be courageous. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is not about success.
