Vishakha

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of coming across a guy whose story left me inspired. He is pursuing his postgraduation besides giving tuitions. Following his passion with dedication, he plays cricket for India. You might be wondering, what’s inspiring about his story? Well, the guy is physically challenged and has difficulty walking without support. He plays as a cricketer in the Indian Wheelchair Cricket Team. His positive spirit, helpful nature and zeal to pursue his passion of cricket is motivating. The best part is that he is not ashamed of his disability.

I realised that all my wounds and scars are small in front of the broken wings of this guy. We often become very negative about life even at the slightest hint of our troubles. Instead of focusing on finding our way through, we focus more on the obstacle. We get troubled by looking at the severity of the high tide rather than enjoying it with our surfboard. Remember, every situation can be transformed. You only need a positive outlook. The guy made me realise that you can fly even with broken wings. And when you do so, you leave others in awe, setting an example for all to follow.
