Early this morning, I found my inspiration for the day and learned an important lesson
from the Life of an amazing young lady, Preethi Srinivasan – who refuses to give up on__and in__Life! Today’s Times of India reported the launch of a unique initiative called SoulFree (www.soulfree.org) by Srinivasan, 34. 15 years ago Srinivasan was getting set to qualify for the national women’s cricket team – that was before an accident crippled her for Life, leaving her a quadriplegic. For someone who loved swimming (she was then competing at the national level) and the great outdoors, she had to reconcile to a Life in a wheelchair. It must have been, quite obviously, difficult, depressing and traumatic. But she did not let her condition affect her spirit. She’s developed, through her own painful, Life-changing experience, the 4-P model of empowerment in Life. She invites people to focus on these aspects whenever they are up against a wall in Life:
- Perspective – shift from ‘Why Me?’ to ‘Why Not Me?’
- Purpose – understand that you have been created with a reason
- Present Moment Awareness – Be in the Now
- Peace – Find it within
