Fear and doubt have destroyed many dreams more than circumstances or any other problems.
Don’t fear to start any journey as every journey is started with the first step. There are many stories in the world that inspire us not to feel any fear before starting our journey. A journey can be of any kind, it does not mean physically walking miles. Your persistent endeavour to achieve anything in your life is your journey.
In this, article, we are sharing with you a story of one of the known personalities of Bollywood. He is the director of many famous films like Sadak, Aashiqui, Saaransh, Naam, Arth and many more. Yes, he is none other than Mahesh Bhatt.
Mahesh Bhatt in one of the interviews shared this story with the host of the show. They were talking about the struggle of the initial years of Mahesh Bhatt’s film career.
He told the very fascinating incident of his initial days when he was nothing and don’t have any work. So, during his struggle time when he was not ‘The Mahesh Bhatt’, he met one of the producers of that time. The producer asked him a very simple question, what do you know about the filmmaking or Bollywood industry?
Mahesh Bhatt first gets surprised by the kind of question the producer asked him. But suddenly Mahesh Bhatt answered that he knew ‘zero’ about the film making or Bollywood.
The producer told him that “zero is the best place to start.”

It does not matter how much knowledge you have about any XYZ thing. If you are not using it practically then it is of no use. When a person starts his/her journey then things start turning his/her way as some force helps them.
The main point here is that to get to the top of the mountain, you have to walk. Nobody will be going to walk instead of you.
If you want something in life then you have to go for it, persistently, adamantly and without losing motivation. It can only happen when you know the importance of your work. If people do not understand you then it is not a big problem.
What matter is that you have to understand yourself. You have to understand yourself.
Don’t fear to start any new things as with time things will turn in your way and you will have what you desired to get.
Madiralaya Jaane ko ghar se chalta hai peene wala
Kis patha se jaon acharaj me hai bhola-bhala
Alag-Alag patha batalate sab mai yeh-tuje batata hoon
Raaha pakada tu ek chala chal pa jayega madhusala.
