SUNSHINE AMID DARKEST CLOUDS

Ever Since the dawn of human civilization or simply from the time of human evolution, progress has been a key aspect of every human being. The perfect example is the evolution from the Stone Age period to the tech period. Humans have always exceeded their limits and led to exponential growth over some time. Interestingly I was no different from the so-called humans; I felt like I had it in me the fuel for prosperity. It drove me to dream big and explore endless horizons. Even though I led a mundane lifestyle, the desire to do something different always prompted me to take that giant leap forward.

Till now everything seemed wonderful, however just like every valuable opportunity even our lives are no different at all. These are narrow paths filled with multiple challenges embedded in them. One such challenge which I came across recently is the covid pandemic situation. It was such a scenario that put brakes on my growth and I always felt like the situation somewhat dragged me back. The situation was similarly felt by most of the individuals worldwide and a huge chunk of individuals felt its absolute impact. There was chaos worldwide which was accompanied by multiple business closures, mass layoffs, and loss of one’s livelihood. The situation was grim worldwide, the impact of which would be felt by the failure of plans and loss of hope. Surely it can be correlated to those conditions which were encountered during the great depression and the Second World War.

Although the entire human race was battling a common army, there was a hope that one day this night would end and new sunshine would end the darkness. This period can be termed as the waiting period for the new glory since we humans always believe that no matter how worst the circumstances are it is bound to be over. Rightly so there were some initial victories where the effect of the pandemic was eased off and we felt like that worst-case scenario is over and it is time to fulfill our dreams, the pandemic strike back viciously and there was a cry of agony everywhere. It was really difficult to swallow the fact that abandoning dreams was the only option left.

Throughout surviving the pandemic, I came across a group of individuals who underwent the transition. The transitions were accompanied by the growth of such individuals in all aspects of their respective life. I was truly intrigued, how can anyone achieve so much in such a grim situation. Then I concluded that humans are designed in such a way that they can combat every situation with great ease. Remember the events such as the great depression, the nazi holocaust, second world war every event had its impact on humankind. However, humans have always endured such occasions with great ease and have led to ultimate development. The major driving force is the individual’s attitude to excel in their respective life. It is this attitude that forces us to make a bold move, to take some real risk, and driving us forward in this journey of life. It was during this pandemic that I came across individuals who lost their high-paying job, but later on, they build a business everything from scratch. A few individuals took the step to learn new skills and make the most valuable use of this period.

Finally, I would like to summarise my thoughts of this pandemic period would be to highlight the growth of those individuals who excelled well despite the grievances. Personally, my key takeaway during this pandemic period would be to make use of the most valuable asset of yourself your attitude to excel despite all the challenges. Investing in these assets can result in remarkable growth o every individual. So rather than focusing on the problem it is always better to focus on the solution and develop a solution-oriented approach towards your problems. So imbibe that attitude and keep developing in your respective paths of life.
