Are You The Tortoise Of Your Dreams? Be Proud Of It!



This is my biggest learning after becoming a mother! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ


Before my pregnancies, I had the luxury to work 10 hours a day. Yes, luxury! I loved every job I did & I always found my work to be meaningful. Iโ€™ve worked for 5 years in construction & fin-tech industries before taking a 180โ€ข degree turn to being a life coach. And before my pregnancies, I never had a โ€˜time limitโ€™ at work.


But things are different for me after being a mom. Even when my entire family and support system steps up and gives me the liberty to go and work - I still wonโ€™t take up that option. I WANT to be around my children. Clearly, my priorities have shifted. But I couldnโ€™t make peace with the fact that I canโ€™t work for long hours in a day. Because obviously, long hours meant more results.


Last four years was a journey of acceptance for me. From struggling to accept that I canโ€™t spend long hours at work to giving positive and empowering meanings to going slow at work.


Today, Iโ€™m that proud tortoise ๐Ÿข who moved strategically but slowly towards her dreams one day at a time. Honestly, tortoise is fast sometimes, maybe Iโ€™m a sloth ๐Ÿฆฅ (the slowest animal). But a proud one!


Am I perfect? No.

Did I move forward significantly? Absolutely, yes!

And thatโ€™s all that matters to me.

If you are in a similar journey, I feel you and totally respect you!

If you are in the same boat, don't be shy to take 'one day at a time' and embrace your baby steps towards your dreams! Good luck lady!


Today, spend some time to introspect whether you are the hare ๐Ÿ‡ or tortoise ๐Ÿข in your story? And do you feel on track with that?
