The struggle is real

Struggle is a part of life and no success story is a story unless it involves struggles. My story has been no different. I was born and brought up in a small town named Haldwani in Uttarakhand. Since childhood I was always interested in playing all sort of outdoor sports. I was really competitive and highly enthusiastic when it came to sports competitions and sports events. Then came a speed breaker which slowed me down completely. I got diagnosed with a rare Muscle disease because of which I was on complete bed rest. The period was as long as 4 months which was very uncomfortable for a person with a mind-set like mine. I was disheartened with this and all sort of thoughts crossed my mind and I had to pass through this stream of negativity everyday. Yet I believed. I knew that this was not the end of life, and it was very soon to give up. I followed a strict diet, spent time in meditation and Yoga. Books became my best friends and I started observing things more, learning about people and to internalise wisdom. I took medications seriously and got cured completely. I had to work hard to get back on my track. I started walking, jogging and running as low as a minute a day to 5 Kms in 1 go. I built my stamina and gradually took my place in the School football team again. I knew that consistency is the key and I should never give up and I think this belief pushed me through the hard times and these experiences and struggles made me a stronger person that I am today.
