Sati had always been a diligent and hardworking employee at her office. She was proud of her accomplishments and took great joy in tackling new challenges. However, on this particular day, her boss called her into his cabin and said, “Sati, you have failed to meet our expectations, I did not expect this from you. We need someone who can handle important tasks without making mistakes!” Her heart sank as his words pierced through her fragile confidence. She felt a surge of humiliation and a deepening sense of not being good enough.
As the morning sun filtered through the office windows, Sati sat at her desk, feeling a knot of anxiety form in her stomach. The task at hand seemed insurmountable and a nagging voice whispered in her ear, “maybe I am not good enough for this work”. Doubts clouded her thoughts and she questioned her ability to deliver the desired outcome.
Just as Sati was sinking deeper into her sea of uncertainty, her friend Shiva, who sat in the adjacent cubicle, noticed her unease. Sensing her distress, Shiva approached Sati with a warm smile and a reassuring presence. He had always been a pillar of support, someone who believed in Sati’s capabilities even when she doubted herself. Throughout their friendship which formed on the first day Sati joined the office, Shiva had been there to lift her spirits and remind her of her strength in times of self-doubt.
