The toughest journey on this earth is not to Mount Everest and back! It is the journey of life itself. The reason that it’s so tough is because no one teaches us how to traverse it. It’s not taught to us in schools and colleges and it’s hardly ever taught to us at home. It is my strong belief that we can avoid a lot of heart wrenchingly painful experiences if we learn from other people’s mistakes along with our own. I guess that’s the reason so many of us read autobiographies and self-help books. I do too! And in this article, I am sharing with you some of my own life lessons!
These life-lessons are also shared in my book, Multiplex Diaries. It is the story of a young woman’s journey through her career, relationships and life in general. Her struggles and triumphs lead to her ultimate spiritual empowerment. The book takes a stand against bullying in the grown-up world and questions the basic work ethics of men and women in general. It narrates a story that’s more than a circumstantial romance and more than just office politics. It is a story of standing up for your beliefs and realising the power within.

You don’t need to blindly follow the life lessons I have listed below but do take a good look at them. These are not exclusive to me. I am sure that many of you have experienced the same.
