My Life before Let's Make A Difference

I am the only boy child of my family with two elder sisters. One is eight years older to me while the other one is six years older to me. With time I realized that I have three mothers, one who gave me birth to me and nurtured me, two, who taught me how to be a learned person in this world and three, who made me strong and taught me how to fight in this world for my existence. My father also instilled in me values and a sense of culture.

But with due course of time things changed. In the year 2019, I started chewing tobacco and got addicted to it; I started talking rudely to my parents, my elder sisters and their husbands. I got into bad habits; I got frustrated with myself, my family members, my work, my friends, etc.., and I didn't like to talk to anybody. I forgot the love, care, affection, respect which was given by them to me. I didn’t know the root cause of my behaviour towards them, but I could see that my relationship with them was just at the border of breakage.

Life at Let's Make A Difference

Let's Make A Difference is a temple of change & it provided me with inner peace. I saw change in myself with the help of sessions, the unavailability of gadgets, and the atmosphere of the conference. I enjoyed the self-healing process which came to me during quite time and deep introspection. It also made me realize a lot of my mistakes – my behaviour with my family members; I even got a strong thought of leaving tobacco. On the family day session, I realized the value of my family & apologized to them. I buried all my bad habits in the soil of Panchagani - which is a drastic change.

Life after Let's Make A Difference

On the day I reached the station of my home town, my father came greeted me with a bouquet in hand and carried a box of sweets. He congratulated me and told me that it is an honour for him that I came back successfully physically and emotionally from this spiritual journey. After coming back home I hugged all my family members and then I realized that they are my real support system, without them I am nothing. After hearing that I quit tobacco, they were even more happy. After listening to all the sessions at the YC, my father decided to follow  the four principles of Purity, Honesty, Unselfishness and Love and start the practice of Quiet Time. He is the person who wants the change in himself after seeing a drastic change in me. Here is my journey from having broken relationships to feeling unconditional love. Thank you Let's Make A Difference for taking away my bad habits, for showing me the correct path of life and giving me back my family.
