"I am feeling very confident"

(If you want something, visualize and take your 1st step,this is my 1st step) I am 26 years old and i live in varanasi, India. I wanted to share my story and experience after finishing the quest.. I will walk you through my life till now..my parents were never biased towards me and my elder brothers, untill my schooling was done. I wasn't allowed to move out of the city.. 
My father said "Do anything.. i don't care.. but from here, staying in the city..i want you to be in front of my eyes till the evening" ,while he was planning to send my brothers(then they were studying in another city) abroad for higher education.They went to abroad..and i did my graduation from "here" and refused to do my masters..because i wanted to get the exposure and wanted to do it from another city..later on due to my age people started asking about when i am gonna get married..society started pressuring my parents.. for those who don't know about most common scenario here.. i have a lot of cousin sisters..some of them compromised with the marriage and others struggled a bit like studying and taking a job just to get better options for groom (in arrange marriage).. even some people expected to do the same to me..they asked me what to wear what not to (to not put effort), to do my masters, to not hangout with guy friends or with your male cousins, so that they can get better options of groom for me. For few days i did it..but then i felt suffocated and i took a stand..i wasn't that confident that i could lead my life from there,alone. I didn't know how to.I got into reading self-development books.. later i heard about mindvalley.. i thought of giving it a try.. the moment i started watching "the 6 phase meditation and be extraordinary" quest's videos..i knew this is gonna be transforming.. Now that i have finished the quest..i am feeling very confident..strong.. I told my dad "i am not gonna marry". Now i feel i don't need a guy.. I can be the man i wanted in my life.. i can thrive! And "I AM ENOUGH"
