Metanoia

Just another day of summer vacation,plain,no plans with friends and simply boring.I was lying on my bed, mindlessly scrolling through my phone, switching between instagram and youtube, when I came across an app that I had stopped using, pinterest.Although Pinterest is great,but, for me, it represented a failed attempt to start a blog.Boredom got the better of me, and I decided to take a look at Pinterest. On my feed, I came across the word - metanoia.

Metanoia in Greek is literally ‘change of mind’ often translated as “repentance". But this kind of
repentance is not about regret or guilt or shame; it implies making a decision to turn around, to face a new direction. Something, I really badly needed at that time. Life was no fun, I had no idea what I was doing.And maybe, because of this,I had trouble sleeping, I was constantly anxious about my future.I wanted a goal to pursue but didn’t attempt to find goals.Something had to change, life shouldn’t feel like this.

A lot has changed since that day.After a lot of introspection and soul searching,I slowly have
got a vision for my life,goals to accomplish and immense belief in myself.I slept better and this
seems like a sign.Restarting my blog and writing this article is evidence for this change. Although I have a long way to go, I have taken the first step, I have begun.

I write this to remind you that change is possible.

“Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.”- Robin Sharma
The best time to begin is now.
