Thinking+ Feeling+ Behaving= Being= Psychology

I remember my excitement when i took up psychology as my special subject. It was COOL and DIFFERENT. It was not very well accepted by my parents and grand-parents but ya, i decided to go ahead with it. It was something very close to my interest which was talking to people, helping them sort out their problems. But today when I am a Clinical Psychologist, I can see that it is totally different. Anyways going back to my college days, I really wonder what drives people to do what they really what they want to do? Or how one decides their goal for rest of their life? Anyways with all the confusion, but still with the pretension of being firm and sure.. and then started this whole journey to The World Of Psychology- The Science of Human Mind...
With all the struggle, new experiences and experiments three years of BA were over. .

In these three years with all sorts of people around, with all sorts of experiences and with a more definite reason i decided to move to Mumbai for doing my Post Graduation. At that time i realized that if you have decided something for yourself and you know that it is going to work out for you and give you, okay not fully but at least show the way to what you want, you don't feel the need to convince people...and so didn't I. I just told my parents that I am going to Mumbai..and at that point in time their support or rejection did not matter to me..because i had decided to be at the place i wanted to be.
I realized that the change had already begun in me.
I still don't know if that was because of Psychology r the age i was in, may be both..but ya change happened..i did not know what was there for me in mumbai..but ya today when i look back i sure love it, and become more and more happy about the decision i made...Decision to take up Psychology, Decision to give myself a chance and decision of taking risks...
