How often do you feel that you are stuck? And think that nothing is going as per your plan? How many times do you think that you need a push to restart your life? How many times do you think that you don't want to try anymore?
It is a common attribute of being human. Where we feel depressed if something doesn't work out as per our expectations and we feel like doing nothing, we want to be there for some time & feel that failure from the bottom of our heart. It's good to feel everything deeply and need not forget that the rest of your life is still there to live.
We give our attention to some incidences of our life where we feel that this is the end, nothing is going to work out, and your life has paused, your dreams have shattered, and you are lost.
I have recently watched a video of a brave lady who is not only bold, smart but also a courageous one. She is Amy Purdy- https://tinyurl.com/wjxyqxx .
She was diagnosed with a rare disease called "Meningitis," a rare bacterial infection where her chances of survival were meager, she lost her both legs because of that infection. She uses to do Snowboarding. After losing her legs, she lost her confidence, her courage, her dreams, her passion, and her motive to live her life. She stopped meeting people and start talking negatively about herself. Self-talks creates more impact rather than hearing something wrong about yourself from someone else.
Her dreams were to travel the world, Snowboarding, participate in competitions, and had a vision of becoming the champion. All the goals were in the paused state. She was going through emotional trauma, and one day she decided to face it and accept her life's situation the way it is. The day her perception towards her conditions changed, it started motivating her to do more and more for herself, her dreams, and her passion.
Her parents helped her in the installation of her artificial legs; she embraced that by saying that- She could be tall, She could be short according to the guys she is dating. Her attitude towards life was making herself happy no matter how hard the situation gets; she wanted to face it gracefully.
She started practicing Snowboarding with her new legs, She was going through the pain, but she had the thought of reaching her goal of becoming a champion in Snowboarding always there to overcome her anxiety. She practiced, she was consistent, She was positive about achieving her desires, and one day she became a professional snowboarder and won 2 world cup gold medals and became the first female snowboarder. She started a nonprofit organization for disabled people who can participate in action sports.
Her Story inspires us in many ways and tells us:

- Your current situation is not defining your whole life
- Your Dreams are not beyond your limit if you don't limit yourself
- Every Circumstance of your life, push you to become a different and stronger person than before
- Take it and accept it the way your life give you the challenges
- When feeling stuck, try harder to get out from that situation
- Accept the changes gracefully
