About Ayushi Aran

Confidence tells you you can do it, but experience tells you how. “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience.” Learning is based on experience. Every experience, therefore, has a learning potential. For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, strive, and fail before achieving success. There’s a maturity that comes with the experience of pursuing your dreams. Before you can do that, it’s important to take inventory of your priorities. What are you passionate about? What makes you feel alive? Where do your talents thrive? Not everyone values the same things or thinks the same way, and that’s OK. The number one way to live a life free of regret is to pursue those interests after you’ve identified them. Passion and drive can wither and die without actions supporting them. Your time is precious. It’s common to struggle with feelings of futility when you don’t make immediate progress. We can’t choose the outcome of our actions, but we can choose every day to keep pursuing them. Every day take an action, no matter how small, to achieve your goals. Write in your blog, do those push-ups, and practice your singing. Build upon your momentum. Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted. Many of my strongest memories come from the times I’ve failed, and those lessons have stayed with me. There is virtue in failure. Time and perspective allow me to see the value of even the most painful situation. For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, strive, and fail before achieving success. Maybe we’ll discover that the journey is more important than the destination.
