Lessons I Learned from Meeting with Aastha Shah

During our Panel discussion on ” The changing faces of fashion in India” , I learned a lot from Aastha and was inspired by her creativity, dedication, and passion for her work.

1. Embrace your uniqueness:
   
   Aastha emphasized the importance of embracing your uniqueness and not trying to conform to what others expect of you. She explained how she found success by staying true to her own creative vision and being authentic in her work.
   
   As creatives, we all have something unique to offer, and it’s important to embrace that and let it shine through in our work.
   
   
2. Focus on the process:
   
   Aastha stressed the importance of focusing on the creative process rather than just the end result. She explained how she enjoys the journey of creating, and how it’s important to enjoy the process and not just the finished product.
   
   This mindset can help us stay motivated and inspired even when facing creative blocks or setbacks.
   
   
3. Stay true to your values:
   
   Finally, Aastha talked about the importance of staying true to your values and using your work to make a positive impact in the world.
   
   She explained how she uses her platform to promote social causes and make a difference in people’s lives.
   

As spotted by vitiligo (skin condition) at a young age, it turn out to be blessing in disguise, helped her learn to accept herself and become more confident.

Her message of self-love and acceptance is exactly what we need in today’s world.

Seeing Aastha’s confidence and positive attitude has also motivated me to work on my own self-talk and to approach challenges with a growth mindset.

Overall, meeting with Aastha has been a truly empowering experience and has helped me to build my own confidence and self-esteem.
