The Days Ahead

I am at this point of my life, taking on different roles of leadership and responsibilities. I am no longer accountable to myself solely. I have to look out for others at a micro and macro level. From being accountable for their well being, growth and delivery of results to the long term strategic planning process.

In the past, I have had thought about this before. Imagining myself to be in that position of power. Wondering how it will be like to have others looking to me for direction and instructions. The very idea of being in that position to inspire and influence others actually exhilarated me.

Now that I am finally here - in that position of power, I feel the utmost weight of solemnity. The need to balance one's aspiration with the expectation to deliver. The need to see the far ahead and act upon it.But somewhere amid all these feelings, that spark of exhilaration is still there.

The terms ahead will not be an easy one. But hopefully it will also be one of the best ones that I will go through during my undergraduate days.
