my story

Are you paying the price for your career?

What do you think will be the reaction of an average middle-class family young guy age 20 years, when he gets a job with the World's largest appliance company?

I was ecstatic!!! I was so thrilled when I got my 1st job in the manufacturing industry which was growing rapidly. I started giving my best to my career. I wanted to grow and be one of the best, which I learned from my parents. I wanted to be the best in the entire company and started working hard. I never measured the number of hours that I was spending in my job. Long hours were part of my job because I knew that by working hard I will have a better life for myself and my family.

Little did I realize that I was taking up more and more responsibilities and my career graph looked extremely attractive. At a very young age, I was already handling multiple responsibilities and I got some best awards within the organization and in the entire industry. I also realized that I have been paying an expensive price and it was my health. I was paying for my career growth with my health.

One of my health concerns was Asthma and that had really gotten aggravated and I had also put on more weight. But neither of that caught my attention till the time my Asthma started affecting my professional progress. I realized that I had to work on it and bring a long term solution rather than going for inhalers, and other medications like injections that my Doctor was recommending.

In my search for a Holistic approach, I got connected with a Wellness Coach who guided me with a beautiful combination of lifestyle changes and helped me to build the right habits. The process was so interesting, that I took the time to learn so that I can positively influence my friends, family members and my colleagues to lead a healthier life. As I learned more, this became my passion. I have been dedicating my time to learning and helping people to lead healthier lives.

From my 25+ years of experience in the corporate industry, what I am observing is when there is a choice between Health and Money, people end up choosing money.

Today I am extremely grateful that, I can spend my time on something which I am passionate about and brings me and my family great Health, Happiness and of course financial gains as well.
