From a very young age, I had an unmistakable passion for fashion. I loved experimenting with clothes, pairing different items together, learning about colors, and discovering which color combinations looked the best. I even became the unofficial stylist for my family, as they would always ask me for advice before heading out. It was then that I realized that fashion design was my true calling. If you're looking to find your own passion, I would suggest looking at what comes naturally to you that others may find difficult. For me, fashion design seemed incredibly easy and enjoyable. The more I experimented, the more confident I became in my abilities, and the more I wanted to learn. I began taking fashion design classes, learning about different fabrics, patterns, and techniques. I also started attending fashion shows and researching the work of my favorite designers. With each new experience, my passion for fashion only grew stronger. Today, I am proud to say that I am a successful fashion designer, and I owe it all to my early days of experimenting and learning. If you have a passion, don't be afraid to pursue it. With hard work and dedication, anything is possible.

Growing up, I was always a night owl 🦉✨️. This meant that I had to rush through my morning routine every day. I barely had time to get dressed and fix my hair, let alone have a nutritious breakfast or gather all my things before heading out the door. As a result, I was always forgetful and unfocused. I struggled to concentrate on my work and felt tired all the time. Despite numerous attempts to wake up earlier, I always ended up hitting the snooze button in the morning.  However, my lazy attitude towards my morning routine came to bite me when I moved to a new city for college. No one was there to wake me up or remind me of my responsibilities. I started missing classes and falling behind on my work. I knew I had to make a change. Someone suggested me to read a book "Atomic Habits", where an author mentioned the importance of starting small and various techniques. I then created a night routine, setting a goal to sleep between 10-11 P.M. and eating clean to avoid feeling sluggish. It wasn't easy at first, but I kept at it. I learned to resist the temptation to check my phone before bed, and slowly but surely, I began to feel more rested in the morning.  Next, I decided to create a morning routine. I started with just a few simple things, like meditating for two minutes, working out for ten minutes, etc. Over time, I began to see improvement in my mental and physical health. I was more energized, focused, and productive throughout the day. I also noticed that my relationships with others improved. I was able to approach each day with a positive attitude and a sense of purpose. Having a good morning routine is essential for success. With perseverance and dedication, you too can reap the benefits of it.

When I first started my career, I was completely consumed by my job, chasing success at any cost. I was so focused on work that I forgot to take care of myself and my family. I was constantly missing important events and was never truly present when I was with them😐. To make matters worse, I was taking on tasks that weren't even in my department, just to please my clients. I was overworked and overwhelmed.🙃 But then I realized something important😬: I needed to set boundaries and learn to say no. I couldn't keep doing work that I wasn't getting paid for, and I couldn't keep sacrificing my personal life for my job. So I started to prioritize my time and set realistic expectations for myself.✌️ It wasn't easy, but I'm so glad I did it. I learned that work-life balance is crucial to our well-being, and that we need to take care of ourselves in order to be our best selves😎. I encourage anyone who's struggling with work-life balance to take a step back and re-evaluate their priorities. It's never too late to make a change and start living the life you truly want.🫵🏻

I was working at a fashion designing company where I felt stifled and unfulfilled. I wasn't learning anything new, and the toxic work environment was taking a toll on my mental health😔 Although I received an offer from another company, it was paying me less. I took advice🤔 from people but most of them told me to continue with the same, according to them I had a stable job and if I choose the less-paying one I'll have to switch again in future for pay rise🤦‍♀️ But I knew that the opportunity for growth and self-improvement was worth it✨ So, took a leap of faith, listened to myself and left my higher-paying job🤞 It wasn't easy, but I'm so glad I did it. I've learned more in my new job than I ever could have in the old one. I'm constantly challenged and motivated to be my best self. And most importantly, I'm happy😁 Sometimes the best opportunities come with a bit of risk🙂 I encourage anyone who's feeling stuck in their job to take a chance on themselves. You never know where it might lead you👍✌️ Also, take advice but do what you feel is best for you😎
