The life-changing tip!
Up until recently, I was waltzing through life! I was going with the flow just like most of the world. I had dreams, goals and aspirations but I had ‘no time’ to pursue them. I used to stay up till 2 a.m in the morning pondering over Manga until my eyes forcefully shut themselves. The mornings were impossible! I used to snooze my alarm at least 4 times and get up purposeless, hopeless and restless. Welcome to another boring day!
