As described by Wikipedia, a leap of faith, in its most commonly used meaning, is the act of believing in or accepting something outside the boundaries of reason. Well I believe it is much more than that and there are good and bad consequences to that.

When you reach the top you have two options either stay or take a leap of faith and it has different meaning in different concepts. Here leap of faith means to take opportunity which is below and not at the top. I am struggling too but these are things which will shape my future sooner and later.
Today I have taken some irrational decision which can create a problem temporarily but for long run it will be a decision of a lifetime which I will not regret. Some people have options and some do not, well I am in the NOT list.
Next few months will be rough and tough and I have more prepared for that anyhow.
It has been a wonderful year so far and we are in the mid of December with Christmas around the corner. So, just like google and others, I thought let us look back to some of the things I did this year.
Still from the movie “The Christmas Chalet.”
The first thing which I did this year was revived my old Instagram page and reactivate my YouTube Channel. With that in place, I was able to connect with people. This gave me confidence and then everything was falling into place. Yeah! to be honest not exactly in place but yes it was happening. The common thing I noticed and learned this year was that it is the ‘Self believe’ that was helping me and faith in the Almighty.
So, I did many things which I never did and I’m quite happy with that because what they say in America, “There’s always a first time.”
Some of the things I did this year!
Apart from that, I traveled to places for some work, leisure and also where I do not want to but, it gave me confidence, took things to a whole new level and also to understand my inner strength. While I was traveling I met a lot of people who were different in their own way and this made me so happy because that’s the beautiful thing about traveling.

Then I was offered a study sponsorship abroad but due to some financial issue I was unable to pursue my further studies, I was helpless however not faithless. And this my friend led to things I always wanted to do but was confused as most of the people but this is common, not bad.
I quickly moved on because it is no point waiting and thinking about things that didn’t happen. These experiences led me to do the ultimate thing which I was working on and that was playing football (soccer) but in a professional way now. It already ended the season and I had missed the trials and here in Kolkata, India the football season is short due to fewer teams.
But I never gave up, practiced and practiced and practiced not thinking which club will take me or how will I manage it but my goal was to get prepared, give the trial and GET IN!

Somehow or the other I managed to give the trial for a major football club in India and finally got an opportunity in the Reserve Team now so I need to work hard and be honest to myself because no opportunity is small for me.
‘Time takes time’ this saying is true, I have a long way to go and no matter what comes in between I’ll keep moving and hustling in life. 💯
Another happy moment that came in my life is that my sister got married this week and Messi got Ballon d’Or.

I have done many things that I could not mention all here but if this post gives you a little motivation then do follow me on Instagram and share this post.
Till then take care and keep believing in yourself & GOD!

It has been a while I realized that Football (Soccer) is the only thing which I am best at. 4 years of a corporate job and 1 year of travelling taught me that you cannot run from your destiny and here I am writing a blog at 05.00 am waiting for Semi-Finals of Copa America where Argentina face Brazil (06.00 am) and since I am in India so timings are a bit like that.
I am continuously practicing and have set up a goal to gain maximum out of myself as I know I am not the best out there but will do anything and everything to achieve it.
This is one of the biggest decisions in my life and I believe that I can make it because you can only do anything if you can believe. So, if this small blog post helped you get a little or even a bit motivated then follow my journey as I will be documenting every aspect of my life.
