🚀 Building in Public: Strengthening the Inner Game

This post isn’t about tech, systems, or business. Today, it’s about building something deeper—my inner game.

🌿 A Break from Work, but Not from Growth

For the last two days, I wasn’t in front of my laptop. Instead, I was immersed in a grand Pooja, a cultural procession, and Yakshagana—all hosted at my home.

For context, Yakshagana is a traditional folk theater from Tulunadu, deeply tied to Bunt heritage. It’s a mesmerizing mix of dance, storytelling, and music, often depicting epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Events like these aren’t just performances—they are a way of honoring deities, preserving cultural identity, and strengthening community bonds.

Because we were hosting Yakshagana at home, we had over 800 relatives and family friends visiting us. The house was alive with energy, conversations, and tradition.

Throughout the day, I was coordinating work on my phone, handling small tasks, checking in with my team. I guess an entrepreneur never fully switches off.

But today? Today was different.

🧠 The Inner Conflict: Am I Enough?

The past two days were fulfilling, but something felt off.

During the event, elders blessed me—not for business success, but to find a groom soon.

And it weighed on me.

Not because I don’t respect their wishes, but because it stirred something deeper—a quiet questioning of my worth.

• Am I not enough as I am?

• Why is my success in business not seen as equally important?

• Why does my worth still seem to revolve around marriage?

Even though I stand firm in my goals, a part of me still absorbed these expectations like a slow poison.

💡 A Mindset Shift with Marisa Peer

I listened a Mindvalley program by Marisa Peer, and something clicked.

She spoke about how so many of us grow up feeling "not enough." This feeling shapes our:

⚡ Habits—pushing ourselves to exhaustion to prove our worth.

⚡ Self-worth—seeking validation from external achievements.

⚡ Happiness—always chasing, never feeling like we’ve arrived.

That hit deep.

I started seeing all the ways I had unknowingly felt "not enough"—professionally, personally, socially.

🌊 Reflection at the Beach: A Powerful Release

I took my thoughts to the beach—the one place that always gives me clarity.

I sat on the golden sand, feeling the salty wind tossing my hair, watching the vast sky and endless waves. It felt like the universe was mirroring the expansiveness of what I was coming to terms with.

I spent two hours reflecting on how I had internalized these subtle expectations—how they made me push harder, chase more, and feel like I constantly had to prove myself.

And then, on my way home, riding through lush green fields on my scooty, I did something radical.

I screamed out loud—"I AM ENOUGH." Not once. Not twice. But 10-15 times.

And I felt something shift.

I realized:

✔️ I don’t need to constantly please others—I choose to, out of love.

✔️ I don’t need to chase relentless efficiency at work—I choose to, as a challenge to myself.

✔️ If I don’t get what I want, it doesn’t mean I’m failing. It means I’m still whole, still enough.

🔥 Moving Forward from a Place of Power

This moment made me realize something crucial—I want my work, my goals, and my life to be driven by passion, not fear.

🚀 Not chasing validation, but creating because I love it.

🚀 Not hustling out of insecurity, but testing my abilities with joy.

🚀 Not running toward an imaginary finish line, but stacking my life with happiness-first experiences.

This was a powerful reset, and I know I need to remind myself of this often. Because the inner game is everything.
