Is a constant journey of Discovery where we keep on learning new things now and then and it can be related to our own self as well because we are constantly trying to discover a lot of things about our own cell and also defining the true identity for us and that is how it can obviously be something about the perception that we have for our own identity and it can be very much dynamic which can be completely different what we used to believe it to be a couple of years ago then what we feel about it right now.

There are a lot of factors which are actually going to be very much essential to be shipping our identity to a very big amount and the role that day play to be defining the way we feel about our own self and the perception that we build about our very oneself is something that is very much underrated and it can have really big influence at the same time. Among those factors that can be a lot of such things, which may be something that is not very comfortable with us, which we do think about dropping later on in our life, and we may feel that it was a really great decision to make.

Throughout our life we do let go of a lot of things to be finding our true self and this is something which is extremely common and can happen with a very big number of people around the world as well which is something that can actually be a very big turning point in anyone's life because they used to have a very different perception about that whole thing but regardless of that it was a very big factor which was impacting them in many ways.

For me there was really big thing that I had to let go and it has completely changed me as a person and my identity has shifted quite a lot then what it used to be back in the day and it is nothing else but my dream itself which was of pursuing a career which I was very much passionate about as a kid but later on due to a lot of factors I had to just give it up and it was to just become a cricketer.

For me becoming a cricketer was something that was not just a dream because I used to feel that it is something that is a most likely certality that is going to happen in the future for me because I was way too much passionate about the sport and also very much having a really good kind of skill set in the sport as well along with that there were a lot of achievements that I did make As a young kid in the field of cricket.

As almost like every other kid here in India I too wanted to be a cricketer when I give up and I also got myself entolled in an Academy as well to learn more about it in a very professional way right from a very young age and it was something that my parents were not very much interested about but just for my passion they got me enrolled in an academy and that was something which made me feel that there is obviously something that I am going to be making a career in this particular field and apart from that it always use to be something that mean me feel a very deep kind of collection with it and it was much more than just a game for me because when I saw it for the first time as a 5 year old kid it definitely evoked some sort of emotion within me.

By the time I reached my teenage years it was something that was not just a dream that I used to see as I was sleeping but it was something that became the primary objective in my life and everything else around it became something that does not even matter or is secondary and that was the level of dedication that I started to put in that particular field and there were a lot of things as a kind of encouragement and also approve of progress in terms of looking at my records and the score that I was making and also the competition that I was a part of in my school level as well which was something that was making me feel good at a personal level as well.

It was kind of work period when I started to believe that I am already in the progress of building the exact life which I always imagine to be living and it was definitely one of the best times in my life but it didn't last at long because it was something that was purely getting driven through my own passion and my love for the game but apart from that there are a lot of other factors as well that are going to be very much essential to be sustaining something and also trying to pursue of career in any particular thing but for me it was much more unfortunate than that.

It was the time of 2016 when my father had a transfer in his job and we had to move away from our hometown to a very different city and over there it was something that was not having that great facilities to be providing the cricket academy and that was something which I was completely lacking in that particular place and slowly due to lack of opportunities I am just lost every chance that I might have converted to something that actually made me feel from inside.

It is one of the most difficult face in anyone's life for at least personally for me it has been the most most part to be alive in because letting go of a dream is surely not very easy and it is also something that does not happen overnight it is a very gradual and painful process that one has to go through and can definitely b a very big source of a personality change as well which is what happened with me as well because it was something that was one of the only thing that kept me going and everything else was secondary.

After this whole scenario, everything changed for me because I used to be very dedicated to everything that I used to be a part of, and also was quite athletic to be saying in terms of my personality, and all of that took a very wild Turn in just a couple of years. After all, now I don't even feel that way, which I used to have a very big amount of dedication for, and also my habits have changed drastically, which is something that I kind of no longer relate to my younger self, who was hungry for achieving something and pursuing something that I loved to do.

In the end it made me realise that there can be obviously many of those things which can be a very big factor to be having a role to shape our personality and its own manner and it can also be a very big thing that we might require to let go off to be finding what we later on become in our life in terms of our personality and for me it was of letting go my dream itself which made me what I am today which is much more different than what it used to be but surely a very different person.
