I don’t have all the answers yet!

Have you ever felt that all you worked for has suddenly become meaningless or worthless. The charisma or power that you once possessed has all of a sudden disappeared, making you feel as if, it never existed.

Hello readers, I am Livi Kashyap, a professional, who worked in the corporate world (across levels) non stop for close to 20 years and then took a conscious decision to take a step back and focus on other important facets of life, enjoy being a mother, a wife and a home maker.

Six months into taking this decision, I am at a juncture, wherein I am extremely happy that I get to enjoy a sense of serenity each morning and have the freedom of not having to check my mobile for constant Whats-app messages or mails on business updates. However, there is a vacuum or emptiness of not accomplishing something substantial at the end of the day. I miss the adrenaline rush or sense of accomplishment that I felt when I would lay in my bed pondering over my day at work. Do I miss it – Yes at times. Do I want to get back to full time – Do not know yet!

Each time you read the story of any successful leader or listen to their interviews for inspiration, they all clearly state that they did or are doing what they are truly passionate about and they know exactly what they want to achieve in the next 10 or 15 years of life, they know the path that their life is treading on. Now the trouble is, I do not have either the innate passion or direction of what I need to take up next (professionally) .

Normally, by the time we reach the age of 40, we have everything figured out professionally, but here I am, I do not have the answer yet.

I may come across as uncertain, yes that is true, but through this blog, I would like to find the answers to my questions and address the emotions, build in a self-discipline and help other readers who may be in a similar situation as me.

This is my journey of self discovery of finding answers that will give me a sense of true fulfillment. One thing that I have learnt from my past experiences is that if the intentions are right, then the almighty, walks the path with you 🙂
