What motivates me

A challenge is what motivates me. 

A task that is tough or requires detailed planning and execution. Add an element of risk to it and I am all psyched to take it up and complete it. 

Three years back I went to my native place and built my dream home. That one sentence does not do justice to the opposition and mockery I faced initially as I was literally an unknown in that area. I had no friends or no local support. But I had a plan in mind.

I micro planned each day of the journey and achieved what shocked a few of my relations. It reads like I am boasting but there were a lot of tense moments and hand wringing on the way. But in the end I was able to accomplish what I set out to do.

That is what motivates me, a challenge. An opportunity to prove others wrong.
