Life after UPSC Preparation: Facing Crossroads

I know for years you have dreamt of the moment when your name and roll number would appear on the holy list of UPSC.

I also know this that you have multiple times imagined the over happy faces of your parents and friends.

But the harsh truth is 0.1% selection rate of UPSC. Even winning a gamble in Las Vegas, America has ten times higher probability of 1%.

For 999 out of 1000 UPSC Aspirants the story turns completely dark, when results come out. It is a common feeling to think that your life has ended and not a single ray of hope is present for you.

What to do if I fail UPSC? Now stands in front of you. Boldly and Powerfully. 

You have given years or in many cases your entire early adulthood to UPSC. Your friends who went abroad are now buying houses and you are still dependent on the monthly allowance from your parents.

Every sleepless night, every self-doubt, every sacrificed relationship now echoes loud and clear. I have been there. I have been in that silence and the pain which starts to grow. Truthfully i have been those dark places.

 

Emotional Toll of UPSC

Preparing for UPSC is much more than just your intelligence. It is an emotional rollercoaster not only your knowledge is tested but your discipline, your self-confidence and sometimes your very own sense of identity is put under a question mark? 

The feeling which you carry after failure are true and valid to the core:

• Guilt and self-blame
• Family and societal pressure
• Fear of uncertain future
• Loneliness and isolation
• Paralysis by comparison

All when combined feels crushing you down. 

This is the exact life after UPSC preparation for 99.9% of UPSC Aspirants.

You carry an invisible burden. Weight of self-explanation combined with fear of wasted years.

The first step towards situation control is gaining clarity by taking control of your life and transforming uncertainty into opportunity.
