"I learned that chasing the impossible is what makes us feel alive and it is not necessary to know everything from the start"

Before Be Extraordinary Quest I was setting goals that were easy for me and within my reach. I was operating within the limited box that people around me had build for me. I never really thought about what was possible and I never tried to pursue the impossible. 

During the course I took Vishen's insights and set really bold MIQs for myself. I had no idea how I was going to achieve them, still I set them following the nudge of my intuition. 
One of my MIQ's was to learn and speak Spanish fluently. I don't know why I wrote that one, I just trusted my intuition and went with it. The moment I shared my list on our community, people offered to help me out, I read about apps that people suggested on the community. Mimi, from the group helped me get started with Spanish. In the beginning, it was uncomfortable cause it was all new for me, but Mimi encouraged me and supported me throughout the call. This led me to download the app Duolingo and I started taking the initial steps of learning. With time I enjoyed learning Spanish. it was becoming fun for me. I wasn't forcing myself, instead I was pulled towards it and I felt so smooth and comfortable while learning. Honestly, I thought learning Spanish would be the last to pursue from the list, but the support and encouragement from the community made me see that it was possible and fun. I even watched Money Heist in Spanish, understanding bits and pieces of it and I still enjoyed watching it. I am still surprised how it all came together and with time I am going to work on my Spanish and get it crystal clear one day, Another one of my MIQ was to have an Instagram Page with 1 million followers. Most importantly, I wanted the page to be fun and be something different than the crowd. After finishing the quest I did not try to force any goal into my life. I kept my MIQ list and went on with life. One day, out of the blue, an idea popped into my head about the theme of my Instagram page. I always wanted to have a quote page and I had started one in 2018, but I failed to continue with it. I knew this idea was a second chance to make my vision real. From my previous MIQ experience I acted on my vision of my page and started taking small steps towards it. In the past I always felt the resistance to start something new without knowing the complete plan. But this time because of the B.E. Quest I took action and I started a page named MIND UNBOXING on Instagram. The best part is I'm completely in love with my content. This manifestation is also special because I'm not a designer and I don't use professional tools. I made all of my content from my smartphone, learning everything from YouTube. Still, I managed my page to look great and unique. 

Since, Mindvalley has contributed so much to my personal growth, I have dedicated the initial posts to all the Mindvalley teachers by posting their quotes. I couldn't be more happy to start my page with the mentors I admire the most and a company which I completely trust. I learned that chasing the impossible is what makes us feel alive and it is not necessary to know everything from the start. We should just choose to pursue what matters to us and show the commitment to explore the unknown step by step till one day it becomes a reality. My life isn't perfect yet, I do feel the ups and downs of life. But, the most important thing that Mindvalley has given me is the hope and the unwavering faith I feel to change my life whenever I want with the tools and knowledge I have with me.
