UNDAUNTED

UNDAUNTED

Sarah had an interview by 9:00am. She was so excited about it. 

By 7:30am,there was an heavy downpour. She thought it would stop before 8:30am and then she'll get going. 

The rain kept falling without losing any strength. 

Soon it was 8:45am and Sarah got so worried. 

She knew if she got into the rain, even her umbrella won't save her. 

It was such a discouraging sight. 

And then it was 9:00am. 

By 9:15am,Sarah thought to herself,"I've been looking for a job for more than three months now should I let the rain stop me from getting this one."

She got Prepared and set herself for the Journey ahead. 

Thankfully,the company wasn't far from her home and within 20 minutes she had gotten there,quite soaked but she went in anyways. 

The place was unusually quiet and less busy with just very few people around. 

So she went to the receptionist and said she was here for the job interview. The receptionist was perplexed and Sarah wondered why. 

She asked Sarah to have a sit while she communicated with the Manager. 

Now on this day,the CEO came around for company evaluation and training of interns. 

While Sarah was waiting,he walked into the company,and at the same time the Manager was coming down to attend to Sarah. 

But he had to take a turn as soon as he saw the CEO,they exchanged pleasantries and he asked about the people for the interview. 

"Sir, no one except the Lady over there has arrived"

The CEO was impressed and surprised at the same time. The rain could have stopped anything and anyone. 

Then he turned to Sarah and said,"You defeated the rain just for an interview. That was such a brave act. I'm sure you are as smart as your confidence,so for this,you have the job"

You can imagine the look on Sarah's face. 

Now have you ever been in a similar situation like Sarah's. 

Have you ever had to do something but something else stopped you?

Despite all odds,Sarah went for the job interview. At that moment her concern wasn't about getting the job at all,her concern was to get to the interview. 

When you get too comfortable with smooth happenings, you might not be able to handle obstacles. 

If you tell yourself that you can pass an examination with an A,then you'd surely get an A as long as you put in efforts. 

It is what you feed your mind with that it gives back to you.

You feed it with Fear, then you'd always be afraid.  

You feed it with hope,then you'd always have hope. 

As much as you want to be successful,you also need to have a great resolve towards bad occurrences and challenges,else they would pull you down. 

The Journey of life goes beyond the success and growth. It's your ability to remain focused even with challenges. 

Are you like Sarah who defied the rain or you're like the other job hunters who allowed the present situation cut their hope. 

In all,Remain Undaunted. 

Take risks. Overcome fears. Deal with challenges with great confidence.
