Strength whether physical or mental, does not come from doing things you can already do repeatedly. Nor does it come from doing something you are capable of and have already done. True strength comes from overcoming challenges that once seemed impossible for you.
As a brain injury survivor, I have faced many physical and mental challenges. However, honestly speaking, I have overcome all the struggles that people once thought I would never be able to overcome in my life.
After the injury, there were many obstacles in my way, and the people around me thought that I wouldn't be able to overcome any of them. Even when I was in a coma, my doctors told my family that my chances of survival were very slim, and even if I survived, I would not be able to walk again or would face complete paralysis of the body.
I survived, came back from a coma, stood up, and walked again. Everything that came into my life after the injury was a challenge to overcome, and I overcame them all.
My family members were worried about my education because, at the time of the accident, I was in the 4th semester of my graduation, and the injury set my degree back by a year. Continuing my education after the accident was an almost impossible challenge for me. However, after one year and four days, and undergoing two back-to-back brain surgeries, I rejoined my college. With all my hard work and effort, I completed my degree with first division honors.
I have overcome many seemingly impossible challenges in my life after my injury, and it has become an addiction for me to tackle difficult, challenging tasks and conquer them. The best part about overcoming what once seemed impossible was that it boosted my mental strength to new heights. The fear that once occupied my mind vanished, and I emerged as a mentally stronger and more resilient person.
Obstacles in life always come to make you stronger. Always fight and never give up, because one day, when you look back at overcoming all those impossible challenges that people once thought you could not conquer, you will feel proud of yourself.
In any tough battle, always fight like a warrior; those who persevere in difficult situations always win.
Thank you.
