I found myself becoming more accepting of myself

Quick summary

After leaving Google to pursue nonprofit work, Anand struggled with self-doubt until discovering Mindvalley. Through Vishen's teachings, they developed self-acceptance and confidence, achieving greater impact in their social endeavor than ever before in their corporate career.

Last July, I quit my corporate journey and a job at Google to dedicate myself to a nonprofit effort org I had founded earlier and to lend time to my family, particularly as my wife, who had accommodated herself around my career for a decade & a half, was rebuilding her own professional identity.

However, societal conditioning and internal demons were making me question myself soon after as I struggled with the change I had selected. Thankfully, that's when I picked a few courses at MindValley (incidentally an ad sales client earlier) and was gifted Vishen's book "The Code of the Extraordinary Mind" too as a matter of coincidence.

The experience has been nothing short of life-changing; I found myself becoming more accepting of myself and my circumstances and more in control of dealing with situations instead of being susceptible to pressure as I practiced the different exercises suggested by Vishen.

I am already a lot more successful in my social endeavor than I was before in terms of both societal & operational impact, remarkably developing a newfound confidence about the future through many little achievements I may not have even dreamed of earlier. I'm also more relaxed, and immensely grateful for the consciousness of where I stand in the 4-stage trajectory to level 4.

Thank you for being a virtual ally on our adventures, Vishen, and for sharing your own stories with such relatable vulnerability. Hoping to keep learning & growing every day, and to possibly relaying some of the goodness to many others along the way.
