Hey there!
So, this one’s a little personal. Today, I’m not here to give you a tip or a tutorial. I want to share a story — my story. One that started with confusion, a little bit of self-doubt, and a whole lot of questions.
🌱 “What do I want to do with my life?”
If you’ve ever sat with your head buried in your hands thinking this exact thing — trust me, you’re not alone. I used to panic-scroll through career blogs and watch a hundred YouTube videos trying to find something that “clicked.” For a while, I thought I was supposed to have everything figured out. But I didn’t and then… something changed.
🎨 The Little Signs I Ignored
It wasn’t a lightning bolt moment. It was subtle — like the way I got way too excited to design my club posters in college. Or how I loved coming up with captions that made people laugh. Or how I found myself more interested in why people buy things than what they’re actually buying. Looking back, the signs were always there. I just never called it what it was: marketing.
💡 The Moment I Knew
One day, during a boring lecture (yep, guilty 😅), I stumbled upon a video breakdown of a marketing campaign — I think it was about how Nike doesn’t sell shoes, they sell stories. And something inside me lit up. I realized — this is it. This is what I want to do. To create things that connect, that matter. To tell stories that move people, inspire action, build brands. That was my “click.”
🛠 But Passion Alone Isn’t Enough
Here’s the real talk: passion is great, but it needs direction. I knew I loved marketing, but I had no clue where to start. That’s when I found upGrad. And I swear, it felt like someone finally handed me a map.
📚 How upGrad Became My Co-Pilot
What I love about upGrad isn’t just the content (which, by the way, is amazing). It’s that it makes you feel seen — like it was designed for someone exactly like me:
- Curious but overwhelmed
- Passionate but unsure
- Hungry to learn, but tired of textbook jargon
With upGrad:
- I’m not just watching videos — I’m doing real projects.
- I’m learning from people who’ve been there — industry experts, mentors, creators.
- I’m applying marketing concepts to things I actually care about.
And the best part? It’s made me believe I can build something of my own someday — a brand, a business, maybe even something bigger.
✨ To Anyone Still Figuring It Out…
If you’re still searching, please hear me when I say this:
You don’t need to have it all figured out right now. Follow what excites you — even if it’s small. Notice the things that light you up. It might be photography, writing, gaming, or baking the perfect brownie.
Your passion doesn’t arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it whispers. You just have to listen.
And once you find it — invest in it. Learn it. Nurture it.
Find a platform that believes in you, like upGrad did for me.
Because you’re not just choosing a career —
You’re choosing who you’re becoming.
Thanks for letting me share this part of me with you. 💛
