And somehow, if you manage to select that specific word, you will get to know the exact summary of your mind.

His words touched me, and I adopted this practice into my daily routine. It was the third week of April, and after 4-5 days of this exercise, I came to the conclusion that the specific word in my head at that time was 'insecurity.'

My team and I came up with a vision to contribute something to society that improves lifestyles and helps us grow as well. Now, when I do the exercise of finding that specific word, I see it as 'Vision.'
