Whose Permission Are You Seeking Today?
Every now and then I ask myself this question:
“Whose permission am I seeking right now?”
If you know my story, you know that I was born and brought up in a small town called Siliguri. I was raised by two wonderful parents, who worked hard to provide for me and they got me in a Bengali-medium govt. school where I did my schooling.
Growing up, I was afraid.
Afraid of not doing well in school.
Afraid of being beaten by those “big guys” who bullied me.
Afraid of being laughed at.
So I developed this habit of SEEKING PERMISSION.
“Ma’am can I go to toilet?”
“Sir can I go drink water?”
“Maa, can I eat with spoon?”
And that habit stayed with me.

Whose PERMISSION are YOU seeking today?
************************************************************
When I went out to started my first business (I failed at it miserably, and we shut down the company within first year), I was seeking permission from others to support me.
I complained: “None supports me.”
You see… When you SEEK PERMISSION and don’t get it, you feel frustrated.
And this habit stops you from GOING AFTER WHAT YOU WANT.
Because you SEEK PERMISSION.
Permission from “someone else.”
The day I broke that (not completely done yet, because I am a human who is a work-in-progress), I felt a new sense of peace.
I didn’t need someone else’s permission to be myself.
I didn’t need someone else’s permission to help someone.
I didn’t need someone else’s permission to start a new business.
I didn’t need someone else’s permission to invest in myself and my future.
I didn’t need someone else’s permission to do things I like.
"You’re your own permission letter.
Frame it with confidence."
