We all have ups and down in our lives. Sometimes we feel happy, loved, and healthy and at other times we feel the blues and that is part of life. The thing that matters is how we cope with all of that and come out of it.

2013-batch IAS officer of UP cadre and current DM of Mirzapur, Divya Mittal shared an interesting thread on her own ups and downs in life, which has now gone viral. She also suggested how one can deal with such situations in life.

Ms Mittal is active on social media and regularly shares tips on life lessons.

She tweeted, “I am an IAS officer. But my journey has many ups & downs. Have left well-settled paths to struggle. From IIT went to IIM. Left a well paying London job to return. Was training as an IPS & was doing well. Then started afresh as an IAS. How to deal with such major changes…”

In a subsequent long thread, she said, “Leave laurels behind-

You may be well settled in your current path, but if you want to leave that to pursue something else, you need to leave the successes behind. Approach life with the heart of a student.”
