Unstoppable power of challenges.

 While walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman.The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well.

This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age.

While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face anything in life. From the life I have seen it is very difficult to encounter obstacles without being trained from a very young age. Sometimes I even feel proud of having encountered problems in my life. It never pushed me back, it just helped me to move forward with greater strength and courage.

I was reminded of an inspiring life story of Shyam Kumar, the youngest skydiver and paragliding pilot with a prosthetic leg. He was born with one leg, not that he also had so many health issues from birth. This never made him move away from his success or ambitions. He knew very well that he is not going to lose or face difficulties more than he faced during these 23 years. This made him more confident and able to achieve two records.

Take each challenge as an opportunity to grow and succeed in life. Learn from every problem, it will be useful somewhere in our beautiful life journey. Like the little boy and Shyam lets shape ourselves into more resilient and strong individuals. Welcome every difficulty in life with a beautiful smile, and also don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a beautiful and blessed day.
