My life was charmed for the first 18 years. Not a shadow of failure touched it. Everything was so good that I did not know anything otherwise. So, when I was faced with a life-altering condition, it was something that an 18-year-old could not understand or absorb. And when the world turned its back on me, I turned my back on the world. I rejected my circumstance and felt that I do not deserve it. Why me? How could this happen to me? But then logic and reason came from my father. He said, your body is not cooperating with you. If not now, it might not cooperate 50 years from now. Everybody’s body stops cooperating on some level at some point, so why don’t you think that you have been given something in advance mode. And why don’t you go inside yourself and find within you what cannot be taken away by circumstance? That was the trigger point that led me to a journey and at the end of that journey I understood that I need not be a victim of circumstance, but a victor, and I should not let my circumstance define me.
