Experiences from Iron lady of Pakistan - MUNIBA MAZARI

“The twelve years that I have spent in this wheel chair have taught me some powerful life lessons. And I thought that maybe I should share some of those lessons with you all. I have learnt that accidents can happen, accidents will happen but those accidents which were so powerful and so strong that can change your DNA, the accidents which may be somehow deform your body, transform your soul are not just accidents. They are ‘blessing in disguise’ because they transform you into the best version of you. So embrace those accidents I tried to hate the incident, I tried to forget it but I couldn’t because how can you hate something which transformed into a better version of you. So instead of hating it, I embraced it.

 

 In these 12 years I have learnt that life is so unpredictable, life is full of unwanted unexpected series of events. How in blink of an eye everything changed, how in blink of an eye my life changed and how in blink of an eye I changed. I learnt that with all these changes should become a better person every single day. What life did to me does not define me but what I became in return regardless of all the hurts and turmoil and adversity defines me who I am and today with the heart full of contentment I’m blessed to where I am today. In the last 12 years I’ve learnt this wheel chair has somehow given me an insight. I can read people and there are three types of people I have met so far.

 

Number one people when they see you facing adversity, trauma in life these people leave, they don’t claim to be yours. They don’t even claim to be your support system they just walk away. I respect them for their truthful.

Number two I call these people ‘opportunists’ people who try to tag along with you. These people are so weak that they just try to remain in your shadow because they know your strength these people in front of the world claim that they are yours, but deep inside they all know they are not your people. Pray for these people and liberate yourself by setting them free because these people are toxic. They will always try to come back in your life to get their share from your success. I'll repeat liberate yourself by setting them free and when you do so remember, when wrong people leave right things start to happen

Third category that I have seen. People who don't claim that they are your people. People who don't even need to share the limelight that you have. You will always find these people standing next to you always there with you for your without saying a single word. People whose hearts are full of unconditional love for you. These are your people these are the people that you should truly value in your life. I'm blessed to have these beautiful unsung heroes in my life who have never left me.

 

In these last 12 years. I've learned that pain is not your weakness. Pain is your strength because with the pain comes the healing and healing does not come to you, it comes from you. It comes through you. So today if you are in pain congratulations because you are on the Journey of becoming an empathy, a person who can feel for others, a person who can heal the world you can become that person, it all starts from this one tiny step of accepting the pain and embracing it. It's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to be sad because it all makes you human.

 

So embrace the pain. We live in a world where you will be questioned for being nice. We live in a world where you the question for being kind but they will never judge you or question you for being cruel. Don't let those people teach you to hate, be kind anyway, work on yourself and try to be a better person every single day. These 12 years couldn't tell me that how my story will end. I don't know how my story will end. Maybe some stories just never end. But nowhere in my text will you ever read that I gave up”.

What is your real worth? Know your self-worth

I want to share a very important story with you. It's a story about a father who was in the deathbed before he died that father said to his son “Here is a watch your grandfather gave me. It's almost 200 years old before I give it to you, go to the jewelry store in the city and tell them that I want to sell it and see how much they offer. The son went to the jewelry store came back to his father and said they offered $100 because it is so sold. The father said try with the Pawn shop the son went to the Pawn shop came back to his father and said they offered only $20 because it has a scratch. The father asked his son to go to the museum and show them the watch; the son quietly questioned his father's judgment, but still willing to act on his father's last wishes. He went to the museum and when he came back, he said to his father the curator offered $375,000 for this rare piece to be included in the precious antique collection.   The father respondent: I wanted to show

What is the real purpose of Life?

Once upon a time there lived a very wise man. He was the mayor of a local Village. Everyone respected him and his views and opinions were  well-regarded. Many people came to him seeking for advice. His son however was very lazy and wasted his time by sleeping and spending time with his friends no amount of advice or threat made any difference to him. It would not change at all. The years passed and with time faded the Youth of the wise man as he Grew Older he began to worry about his son's future. He recognized that he had to give his son something so that he could take care of himself and his family in the future.  So one day the wise man called his son to his room and said my son you are no more a kid and now, you must learn to take responsibilities and understand life.

What helps to understand Love?

 This story tells you what is need to understand Love. On this Earth a long long time ago before humans were on this planet even before Dinosaurs were on this planet, by that time only feelings inhabited the Earth. There was an island where all the feelings lived Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island was going to sink. It was inevitable the island would sink into the deep vast ocean. So they all needed to get off the island as soon as possible. So all the feelings prepared boats and left into the open Sea to see what would happen. Love was the only one who stayed on the island. Love wanted to stay on the island until it started to sink and when Love was almost sinking it decided to ask for help.  Wealth was passing by love in a beautiful boat and love asked ‘Wealth! Can you take me with you? Wealth answered No, I can't, there are lot of gold and silver in my boat'. There is no place here for

Break your Limits

 This is the story about the elephant and the Rope. Once upon a time there was a tourist who was traveling through Thailand. He was passing by some elephants and he suddenly stopped because he was confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. There were no chains or no cages and it was obvious that the elephants could at any time break away from their bonds, but for some reason they did not.  The tourist saw a trainer nearby and asked him why these animals stood there and made no attempts to get away. Well, the trainer said when they were very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age it's enough to hold them. As they grow up they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the Rope can still hold them. So they never try to break free. The tourist was amazed. These animals could have any time break free from their bonds, but because they believe that they couldn'

Change your problems into Success

  “What is the difference between the winner and loser The loser loses 4 times and gives up The winner also loses 11 times but succeeded in the 12 th time To succeed in life you have to learn to handle failure   You have to learn to handle problem”     Is there anybody here who doesn't have problems? Of course not, what we need to learn most important in life is your attitude towards problems. So the first thing then is to expect problems. As Murphy’s law states if anything can go wrong, it will. Many people when they have a problem in their work they said “Ohh God I have got a problem”. However the only way you can justify your job is that there are problems which you are solving ,if there were no problems that you cannot justify why you’re getting paid. So expect problem just like when you are going uphill your climbing a hill you know the going will be tough. So how do you know that you are progressing the sign is there are problems which they are arising. And if n

Weaknesses is also a Strength

 Once upon a time there was a young woman who lived on top of the hill. Every day she had to walk down the hill to collect water from a river. She had two pots to carry water which she hung upon a pole so she could carry it over her shoulders and it went on. Later on one-day one of her pots got a small crack along inside.  She observed the crack on the pot and decided she could still use it. So every day the woman carried those two parts down the hill to the river she filled them  and walked back up the hill balancing the pole across her shoulders. And by the time she reached the house the crackpot would be only half full while the other pot would be full to the top and the crackpot would glance at the other pot which the water was still filled to the top and the crackpot began to feel worthless.  The fully filled pot was proud of its accomplishment while the crackpot felt ashamed that he wasn't able to accomplish the same amount of water as the other part did. So the years went by
