Hie Rishabh, Wow.. you have had such an interesting life , I am sure you have grown older and wiser than your age and most people !! :) I admire your entrepreneurship as well. I often have this question - why succeeding is such an obsession and that too unrealistic one....how can one succeed without exhausting all failure modes !!. Like you have reflected defining success in our own terms is so liberating (and enlightening as well !!)
Sometimes I wonder if we all get too driven by absolutes and contrasts. Strengths vs Weaknesses, Failure vs Success, and so on. What if we just look at them as attributes and an integral part of ones life's journey? What can be a strength in a situation can be a weakness in another. Failure often does shape us better than success. What we need perhaps is a balance between these different attributes and just be, embracing life in the moment.
From a reader's perspective your journey seems rich and meaningful. Some day in retrospect you will see the beauty. Till then, take care. Keep walking...
The variety of experiences you have had!!! Wow, this is truly inspiring.
I have also started many things but I have never even put in the work to make it into something before quitting it. You have failed rather gloriously I would say!
From where I am now, 73 years of age, I can empathise with your emotions.. We are driven by this need for finding passion and meaning, often to points of despair and abandonment. From where I am, I can also offer you these words of exceptional wisdom from the renowned philosopher, Isaiah Berlin. "As for the meaning of life, I do not believe that it has any: I do not at all ask what it is, for I suspect it has none, and this is a source of great comfort to me — we make of it what we can, and that is all there is about it. Those who seek for some deep, cosmic, all-embracing, teleologically arguable libretto ... are, believe me pathetically deluded." His words are not nihilistic. He reflects the spirit of Buddhism in many ways.
as they say, it’s not about the destination but always about the journey and the way you described ur journey ig u won!!
You’re so right! I had a beautiful journey
Thankyou so much for reading 🌻

Thanks Minaz. Thanks a lot for reading and sharing your insight.
I have always embraced failure...
What I was always in favour of was to train myself to foresee it and fail fast.
