A message that she wants to give all is I started working for cause when I was 10 year old ,Life circumstances was such that I wanted to change the world but I was unable to do so then I thought to change the nation but then later my mentor told me a story and I realised that I should change myself then my family,my friends and gradually I would be able to bring the change in the society .
All I will say that Life is Beautiful and short we must live life to the fullest and be positive always . I have seen death very closely not one time but for 2 times In 2010 my father passed away it was difficult to cope up and stand back , later 2015 met with an accident,I was unconscious for a longer time .In 2017-18 i underwent Brain Angioplasty where all Neurosurgeons said it's difficult to save and still I could fight back with the blessings of Maa,prayers and support of all near and dear ones . Facing many ups and down in life ,the world has made me more stronger by showering their blessings and support on me.
We just have to change our opinion of thought if we keep crying why always me ,for what God is punishing me... This ...that... then you will never understand life is beautiful just change your thought , I'm God's Child ,he has thought something better for me, I'm blessed that he choose me every time for his experiment and challenges,not everyone get this opportunity. The more challenges and experiment the more you become good and better what you were before.And to tell about Happiness ...it starts with you not with your relationships,not with your job ,not with your money , but with you. Do the things which you like to do ,I know money is essential for life but at same time one should also know if I'm happy I will be fit so spare your some time for doing what you like. I'm a teacher by profession but For me real happiness is gifting smile to others .So I spare my time everyday in social activities and I'm happy by seeing them smiling.I will only say don't try to figure out where and how you will find true happiness instead just try to do something for someone may be your own family and see the change their smile and happiness will make you happy .It is an experience of living every minute with love, Grace and peace. Be happy keep smiling and sharing smile with others.
To do something for others all you need is determination , willingness, dedication to bring the change the rest will happen.
Do your best ,leave the rest .Trust on God .
