I am an IAS officer. But my journey has many ups & downs. Have left well settled paths to struggle
From IIT went to IIM. Left a well paying London job to return
Was training as an IPS & was doing well. Then started afresh as an IAS
How to deal with such major changes
A 🧵

A 🧵
Leave laurels behind
You may be well settled in your current path, but if you want to leave that to pursue something else, you need to leave the successes behind. Approach life with the heart of a student

Keep the learnings
But its not like what you did has gone waste. My studies as an engineer wtill help me understand nitty gritty of projects at times. The skills you have acquired in your current path will always help you

Taking the plunge
In anything new, fear of failure or of making mistakes is always there. More importantly, fear of unknown for venturing into unfamiliar territory . There will never be the right time. Look your fear in the eye and take the plunge if you really believe in it

Self belief
At this time u need to believe in yourself the most as most people will not support such choices. Once you become successful, everyone may say that they always knew you had it in you. But when you have to face the darkness of the fears, dont leave your own side

Focus on the process
Once you have made the plunge, no point in regretting the decision. Or overthinking what would have been. Make a plan of how to go about it. Focus more on the steps you need to take in the beginning rather than the results/outcomes. Karmanyev Adhikaraste

Think of the worst case
Think of the worst case. A batchmate wanted to quit MBA from IIM as she feared failing an exam & not being able to complete her degree. Worst case was anyways that. She tried & passed. Quitting is the same as failing. So might as well try.

Make every second count
If you have shown courage in changing the field, make every second count. There is not shortcut to success. No substitute for hardwork. Work your heart out

Lack of Knowledge
Don't be ashamed of not knowing enough. This is expected at this stage. Plan to increase knowledge. Do it deliberately, rather just learning only on the job.This can include taking classes or workshops, reading books or articles on the subject

Failure
In this process, you will definitely fail. Maybe multiple times.
Each time you fail, instead of feeling bad about it, think of the learning and growth that come from it. Failure is the best teaacher if you accept it with humility. Dont make excuses. Learn

What will people say
This is the biggest fear for most people. Fear of what people/relatives will say. No one cares about your success/failure as much as u think. For them it is just gossip. You don't owe it to anyone. The success is yours, and so is the failure. Don't bother

Be kind to yourself
In all the hardwork, stress, remember the long journey you have already done as a person. ALl that you have achved. The guts you have shown. The character that you possess. And then just sit back and love yourself once in a while

Some people don't start because of fear of failure
Some stop on getting a failure
The rest win!
Hope this helps you in your journey
