Thank you Master Evins

Today Master Evins gave some powerful motivation towards the end of class today. Thank you very much Sir. I absolutely needed it. 

Ever since the BB cycle started, I had days when I question myself if I am good enough for doing this, is this even my forte and if I should quit before I make a laughing stock of myself. I would often compare myself with others and think that I am not as good as so and so is. But today I am putting all my fears to rest once and for all. 

As Master Evins said, most of the adults in King tiger would have faced bigger challenges in life than being on a 12 week BB cycle or doing some Facebook challenges . I had too. Back in India I had a tough childhood and I made the best out of it to achieve an engineering degree and came to America alone to do Masters. I made a decision against the usual societal norms in the place I grew up. After landing in the US I was lonely and home sick but had no time let these emotions effect my studies. I learnt many new skills during my Masters journey. Today after the class I had a little introspection and questioned myself if I could achieve so much against all odds then why should I give this up. 

I will push myself even harder from today.

have a great night all my dear fellow tigers on cycle.
