I was headgirl in year 11th and had to walk about 400 meters with flag in my hand, during sports day practice sessions. I couldnt do it. One person who is on my FB list said that I couldnt even carry my own weight, how will I carry the flag; the owner of the school felt that I was not fit enough and would embarrass the school on Sports day. Eventually after debates between my teachers who were proud of how ever I was, lost the argument and with teary eyes, my teacher informed me that I was asked to step down. I couldnt do anything about it and had to accept my fate that day ; but no more, will I compromise with my fate. Its been many years since that incident and though I have forgiven the shallow people who pulled me down, I have not forgotten the pain and hurt that I felt. Its a constant reminder for me to push harder and go further. Nothing ever seems to be enough anymore to me. After almost 20 years, today my trainer made me walk with 20 kgs, and yes, I could gracefully carry the weight and do the walk for good distance. This post is dedicated to all those, specially my patients and friends, who have insecurities and who feel lack of confidence due to physical infirmities or appearance. My friends, no one is perfect and we all have our hurdles to fight with. I have mine and so do most people. Never ever let anyone put you down and never judge yourself lesser than anyone else. The world is cruel and everyone judges everyone but what is important is what you feel and think about yourself. You are perfect in your way and you are unique. Celebrate who you are because if you cannot love yourself, then you cannot expect anyone else to love you.
