There are so many points in our journeys when we have to embrace the toughest of changes. We have resisted so many of them. When I think of mine, I remember:

-The time I had to relocate to Mumbai, a difficult city, where I knew no one– For a journalist with low pay, thriving in a congested city, sharing space with six people in a house was not the change I wanted. But after four years, I realised how important this phase was for my professional and personal growth. When I lived on my own, I learned to take on more responsibilities, be disciplined and develop greater resilience.

-The time I had to move to digital content from journalism– I resisted this change for the longest time. Honestly, I had my mental baggage and bias and would constantly judge my work. It took me years to unlearn that it is not necessary to dedicate our lives to one kind of skill and field. I learned to shed my vanity about research, types of writing styles, books we need to read and topics. As a person from a journalistic background, focusing on business instead of just words and messages was not an easy change. But it taught me to look at the bigger picture.

-As AI takes over the content world, I am again learning to embrace the change that this digital revolution is bringing to the world of content. Again, this isn’t easy. But life has taught us repeatedly #Changeisgood , so we continue to reinvent ourselves and adjust our sails only to realise how far we have come in terms of skills, adaptability and agility.
