what extraordinary things have you done, and why?

• Writing for a couple of weeks straight on hive, I believed I couldn't write even one article when I started here, now I can write a few, I would write with a friend of mine daily, who is a famous blogger in India - @sidwrites
• Running for a few kms. When I was a kid, I was really bad at sports. Couldn't run, or play anything, but training with a fitness enthusiastic friend, I started with running 500m daily, build it up to 3-4 kms in a matter of months.
• Learning something difficult - all my life, I have opted for the easiest choices. The least resistance of entry, the smallest role in a company. Last year, I tried to learn coding. And after trying some courses, I find it a fun thing to do. Might build something in the next few years in the tech world.
• Doing adventure sports - still couldn't believe that I have done bungy jumping, rafting, paragliding etc.
• Most difficult of all, I have always run away from responsibilites, and ownership because I felt like I could not take care of myself, how can I take care of someone else. But 6 months ago, I got married, realized I am more mature and responsible than I thought. Everything is going good. Getting slowly back to all the fun stuff I used to do like hive, learning to code, reading books.

Overall, my expectations from my life, 4-5 years ago were literally zero. I was sure that I would not be able to do something of value in my life.

Turning my mindset around from zero to something is extraordinary for me🙂
