When life is rude, you be proud
Today, I happened to read a post on Indian Express that touched my heart most. I think I should tag our team member Leha Diwakar, who became my strength and inspiration.
When I read about this person's story, a new energy swept in. You know, life may give you a lot of challenges; what matters most is how you handle them.
I was so happy to see that he accepted the challenge. Life made its way on its own because this person never gave up.
I also liked the way both disabled people have set up the example of a life in togetherness. This move of the duo teaches a lot in various aspects of life. Some of my lessons learned from their story, I will share here:
a) When life gives you a challenge, accept it: We all have our dreams and aspirations. Many times, these all do not happen the way we want. This is the time when we get frustrated and give up. This man never gave up. For him that accident was the end, but he wrote a new chapter, and today that chapter of his is an inspiration for me. This incident reminded me of another deadly accident survivor, a young Army officer, who lost both eyes at the age of 24, I think. I could not find much about him, but this story assures me that he would also have fought his battle valiantly. This incident also reminded me of our Leha, whose smile and team leads we all have witnessed. I saw her first in a photograph of a retreat. I had much craze to know who this person is. When I read about her in one of the posts of Ambica Gulati, she became one of my strengths.
b) Ability or disability: Do you see your abilities or your disabilities? I never thought two people like that could actually become two strengths. You know, their chemistry and closeness made me question what we look for in a relationship. In today's world, we all fight so much and immediately file divorces; amidst them all, this couple really lives a life that means a lot. They did not seek each other for giving up, but they both became the strength of each other.
Their relationship complements each other. A quadriplegic and a paraplegic are making such great differences in the lives of many, so we are in a much better position. Still, we brood that we did not get this benefit or that happiness. Have we fought and tried our best to avail ourselves of those benefits or happiness? That is the question of the hour.
It is easy to become depressed, negative, and give up, but to make yourself known to the world for who you are comes from within. If that is not coming, that means we are still people pleasers and not our real selves. Our real selves strive to show who we are.
