The Biggest Enemy Of Success! Thought of the day | Muniba Mazari
Muniba mazari accident story
it was never a happy marriage.
just about two years after getting married about nine years ago, I had a car accident somehow, my husband fell asleep and the car fell in the ditch he managed to jump out and save himself I'm happy for him but I stayed inside the car, and I sustained a lot of injuries the list is a bit long don't get scared I'm perfectly fine now radius ulna of my right arm was fractured.
My wrist was fractured shoulder bone and collarbone was fractured my whole ribcage got fractured and because of the rib cage injury lungs and liver were badly injured I couldn't breathe I lost yourenal bowel control that's why I have to wear the bag wherever I went but that injury that changed me.
My life as a person in my perception towards living my life was the spine injury three vertebrae off my backbone were completely crushed and I was paralyzed for the rest of my life this accident took place in a far-flung area in the outskirts of a very small province Balochistan.
Where there was no first aid no hospital no ambulance I was in the middle of nowhere in that toppled car many people came to rescue they gave me CPR dragged me out of the car and while they were dragging me out got.
The complete transection of my spinal cord and now there was this debate going on should we keep, it Here's going to die where should we go there was no ambulance, there was this four-wheeler Jeep standing in the corner of, the street they said to put her in, the back of the Jeep and take her to the hospital which is three hours away from this place and I still remember that bumpy ride
I was all broken they threw me at the back of the Jeep and rushed me to the hospital that is where I realized that my half body was fractured and half was paralyzed I finally ended up in a hospital where I stayed for two and a half months I underwent multiple.
Surgeries doctors have put a lot of titanium.
in my arm there's a lot of titanium at my back to fix my back that's why people in Pakistan call me the Iron Lady of Pakistan
Sometimes I wonder how easy it is for me to describe all this all over again and somebody has rightly said that when you share your story and it doesn't make you cry that means you have healed those two and a half months in the hospital where dreadful.
I will not make up stories just to inspire you I was in the words of despair one day when the doctor came to me and said well I heard that you wanted to be an artist but you ended up being a housewife I have a piece of bad news for you you won't be able to paint again becauseyour wrist.
Your arm is so deformed you won't be able to hold a pen again I stayed quiet the next day doctor came to me, and said your spine injury is so bad you won't be able to walk again I took a breath and I said It's all right the red-state doctor, came to me and said because of your spine injury, and the fixation that you have in your back you won't be able to give birth to a child again that day I was devastated I still remember I asked
My mother, why me That is where I started to question my existence why am I even alive? What's the point of living I cannot walk I cannot paint fine I cannot be your mother and we have this thing in our heads being women that we are incomplete without having children I am going to be an incomplete woman for the rest of my life what's the point people are scared they think I will get divorced what is going to happen to me.
Why me why am alive
we all try to chase this tunnel all do this because we see the light at the end of the tunnel which keeps us going my dear friends in my situation therewasTunnel but I had to roll on but there was no light and that is where I realized that the words have the power to heal the soul my mother said to me this too shall passion has a greater plan for you I don know what it is but he surely hasand in all that distress and griefsomehow or the other those words were somagical that they kept me going.
I was trying to put that smile on my face.
the time was hiding it was so hard to hide the pain that was there but all I knew was that, if I gave up, my mother and my brothers would give up too could not see them crying with Me so what kept me going was one day I asked my brother's, I know I have a deformed hand but I'm tired of looking, at these white walls in the hospital and wearing these white scrubs I'm getting tired of this I want to add more colors to my life.
I wanted to do something some colors brought me some small canvas I wanted to paint so the very first painting I made was on my deathbed where I painted for the very first time it was not just an art piece or just my passion was my therapy what an amazing therapy it was without uttering a single word I could paint my heart out I could share
my story people used to come and what lovely painting so much color nobody could see the grief in it only could so that's how I spent two and a half months in my hospital crying never complaining or whining but painting and then I was discharged and I went back home and I went back home and I realized that I have developed a lot of pressure ulcers on my back and my hip bone I was unable to sit there were a lot of infections in.
My body had a lot of allergies so doctors wanted me to lie down on the bed straight for not six months for not one year for two years I was bedridden confined in that one room looking outside the window listening to the birds chirping and thinking maybe there will be a time when we'll be going out with the family and enjoying the nature that was the time where I realized.
How lucky people are but they don't realize that is the time where I realized that the day I'm going to sit I'm going to share this pain with everyone to make them realize how blessed they are They don't even consider them lucky there are always turning points in your life there was a rebirth day that I celebrated after two years
Two and a half months later when I was able to sit in a wheelchair that was the day when I had the rebirth I was a completely different person I still remember the day I sat in the wheelchair for the first time knowing that I was never going to leave this knowing that I won't be able to walk for the rest of.
The life I saw myself in the mirror.
I talked to myself and I still remember what I said I cannot wait for a miracle to come and make me walk I cannot sit in the corner of the room crying cribbing and begging for mercy because nobody has time so I have to accept myself the way I am the sooner the better so I applied the lip color for the first time and I erased it and I cried and I said what am I doing a person on a wheelchair should not do this.
What will people say clean it up put it again
this time I put it out myself because I wanted to feel perfect from within and that day I decided that I was going to live life for myself I am NOT going to be that perfect person for someone I am just going to take this moment and I will make it perfect for myself and you know how it all began that day I decided that I'm going to fight.
My fears We all have fears fear of the unknown fear.
of known fear of losing people fear of losing help, and money, wanting to excel in our career we want to become famous we want to get money we are scared all the time, so I wrote down one by one all, those fears and I decided that I'm going to overcome these fears one at a time you know what was my biggest fear divorce, I couldn't stand this word I was trying to cling on to this person.
Who didn't want me anymore but I said no
I had to make it work the day I decided that this was nothing but my fear I liberated myself by setting him free, and I made myself emotionally so strong that the day, I got the news that he was getting married, I sent him a text that I'm so happy for you, and I wish you all the best, and he knows that, I pray for him today my biggest fear.
Number two was I wouldn't be able to be a mother again.
that was quite devastating for me but then I realized there are so many children in the world, they want is acceptance so there is no point in crying just go and adopt one, that's what I did gave my name to different organizations and different orphanages, I didn't mention that I'm on a wheelchair dying to have a child so, I just told them that this is Evansville Missouri, and she wants to adopt a boy or girl whatsoever but I want to adopt a kid and I waited patiently.
Two years later I got this call from a very small city in Pakistan
I got a call from your money by Missouri there is a boy a baby boy and would you like to adopt, when I said yes I could literally, feel the labor pains Yes, yes I am going to adopt him, I am coming to take him home, and when I reached there the man was sitting and he was looking at me from head to toe, and in back of my head I kept thinking that oh my god he is going to say she's on.
The wheelchair she doesn't deserve it
how is she going to take care of him, I looked at him and said do not judge me because I'm in a wheelchair, but you know what he said. said I know you, will be the best mother of this child you both are lucky to have each other that day, I was two years old two days old and today he's six.
You'll be surprised to know another bigger fear.
that I had in me was facing people I used to hide, myself from people when I was in bed for two years I used to keep the door closed I used to pretend that, I was not going to meet anyone and tell them that I was sleeping you know why, because I couldn't stand that sympathy that they had for me, they used to treat me, like a patient. when I used to smile they used to look at me and say you're smiling are you okay I was tired of this question being asked are you sick well a lady yesterday at the airport asked me are you sick?
I said well besides the spinal cord injury I'm fine.
I guess but those are really cute questions they never used to feel cute when I was on, the bed so I used to hide - myself from people knowing that oh my god I'm not going to see that sympathy in their eyes alright, and Today I'm here speaking to all these amazing people because I have overcome, the fear you know where you end up being on the wheelchair what's.
The most painful thing is another fear.
that people in wheelchairs people who are different and abled have their hearts, but they never share I'll share that with you the lack of acceptance people think that they will not be accepted by the people because we in the world of perfect people are imperfect so I decided that instead of starting an NGO for disability awareness which I know will not help anyone I.
Started to appear more in public I started to paint
I always wanted to I've done a lot of exhibitions I'm Pakistan's first wheelchair-bound artist I've done a lot of modeling campaigns and different campaigns for brands like Toni and Guy. I have done some really funny breaking, barriers kind of modeling there was this one by the name of the Clown. town where I became a clown because I know that clowns have hearts too, then, I also decided that if I really wanted to make a difference, I was not going to let people.
Use me for their polio campaigns where.
They will make you a victim or an emblem of misery and mercy and will say you know what give all your drops your children or they will become like this girl I decided that I'm going to join the national TV of Pakistan as an anchorperson and I've been doing a lot of shows for last three years.
When you accept yourself the way you see
the world recognizes you it all starts from within, I became thankyou I became, the National goodwill ambassador for UN Women Pakistan and now I speak for the rights of women, and children we talk about inclusion diversity, and inequality, which is a must I was featured BBC hundred women for 2015 I'm one of the Forbes 30 under 30 for 2016 and it all didn't happen alone you all are thriving in your careers.
You have bigger dreams and aspirations in life
always remember one thing on the road to success there is always we, not me do not think that you alone can achieve things no there's always another person who is standing behind you, maybe not coming to the forefront behind you praying for you when supporting you never lose that person, never no matter.
How much I say that I couldn't find a hero.
So I became one I still want to recognize those three people in my life who literally. changed my life completely, and I get inspiration from them every single day well leave, Han many people know about the terrorist attacks in Pakistan. We have lost many people and I'm sharing this with a very heavy, heart because we actually have lost a lot of people and this huge turmoil of terrorism these people are barbarians they do not see people.
They are there they're even worse than animals
they have killed people in mosques they have killed people in churches temples even in schools there was this terrorist attacking army public school in Peshawar where these terrorists entered an examination hall and killed our children.
And in that attack that day this beautiful boy Walid Hahn who was my hero my real-life hero was, the Proctor who was taking care of the students and keeping an eye on, the students those barbarians shot him three times in the face, five times on his body and he fell down I was asked to give a talk in the school after a week of that terrorist attack with a very heavy heart I went there.
I spoke we sang a few national songs I thought that maybe I'd done my part but deep inside it was killing me I could see children, injured could see children sitting on wheelchairs looking at me wondering what next what was our fault just because we were here to give an examination.
We have been shot so many people so many children lost their friends their classrooms were empty the next day they went to the classroom so this kid will leave, Hahn I was asked if he is in the hospital right now and you have to go and see him and motivate him and tell him that it going to be okay.
When I saw the lead hand coming on the wheelchair for the first time in front of me face was all deformed his, leg was fractured his arm was fractured he couldn't talk he lost his teeth he could not sneeze he could not eat, and I kept thinking should I say that everything is going to be all right nothing is alright, and while I was juggling with the words.
What to say what not to say this beautiful child will eat ham came to me and he said are you Madiba Mazar-e I said yes he said bhaji let's take a selfie and with that beautiful, toothless smile of elite Han we took that beautiful selfie that I still have with me.
I do share that here because it was in very bad shape at that time and that is where I realized that when I was thinking too much about his deformities he's happy with himself, he doesn't even care because today he goes in the same school, and when somebody asks him that what happened. to your face why are so many scars you know what he says these scars are my medals and I wear them with pride.
How beautifully he says the terrorists wanted me not to study
I am going to study I will become a doctor one day and this is my way of taking revenge on those terrorists a nother like the real-life hero of course my son's name is Niall and I LA River Nile I learned so much from this kid the first and foremost thing is patience how to be patient when you know that your mother cannot walk.
when you know that your mother is different from you.
the other woman when you know that your mother cannot go out and play with you how to stay calm he loves football and when we got the very first football he was four years old he was super excited I still remember he came into the room.
he said Mom let's play football and kept the ball in my feet and he said let's kick it, and that day I felt disabled I said I could not kick the ball and I was down with the same face he looked at me and he said well that's alright your legs are not working but your hands too let play catch the ball.
You know what that day he made me realize
when you think your glass is half-empty come on your glass is half-full it's all in here, and here last but not least the woman who made me realize that heroes have no gender, the woman who believed in me even when I was completely at, the words of despair where everybody left she was there, and every time I looked at her without saying anything she used to look at me and said this too shall pass God has a bigger plan.
one day you will say oh my god that is why God has chosen me, she never cried in front of me she has always said that there will be haters there will be naysayers there will be disbelievers and then there will be you proving them wrong my mother.
Whatever I am today I'm nothing without her.
I'm nothing without her thank you Mom I wish you were here thank you for making me who I am today you know what we human beings have a problem out of many problems there is one more and this self-created one we always expect, ease from the life we have this amazing fantasy about life this is how things should work this is my plan it should go as per my plan if that doesn't happen we give up so
My dear friends let me tell you one thing I never wanted to be in a wheelchair. never thought of being in a wheelchair I was always aspiring to do bigger things but had no idea that for that I have to pay the price to be where I am today it's a very heavy price this life is a test and a trial and tests our trials are never supposed to be easy so when you're expecting East from life and life gives you lemons then you make the lemonade.
Then do not blame life for that because you were expecting ease and a trial trial make she was stronger and a better person life is a trial every time you realize that it is okay to be scared, it is okay to cry everything is okay but giving up should not be an option they always say that failure is not an option failure should be an option because when you fail you get up and then you fail and then you get up and that keeps you going that's
How humans are strong failure is an option should be an option
Giving up is not never we have this thing in mind we call it perfection we want everything perfect we want ourselves to be perfect there is this image in our head about everything perfect life perfect relationships perfect career perfect amount of money that we need to earn no matter what.
Nothing is perfect in this world.
we all are perfectly imperfect and that is perfectly all right that's all right your work viewers sent here not to become the perfect people those people who tell you how to look perfect even though people are imperfect trying to fight this fear of looking imperfect Used to be perfect I still remember I got this compliment years ago.
When Used to walk oh my God look at you
you're fair you're tall you're perfect look at me now only the perfect eyes can see that only the perfect eyes will, see that only the perfect eyes will see that so yes in all, those imperfections you have to listen to your heart you do not have to look good for people you don have to be perfect just, because other people want you to be perfect if your soul is perfect from within that's alright this is all that you want this is all what.
You need to be our society has made very weird
very weird kinds of norms to look perfect, and great for men it's different for women Different. We think too much about what people say and we listen to ourselves too little you know.
What makes you perfect when you make someone smile,
you know what makes you perfect when you try to do something, good for the people around you, you know what makes you perfect, when you feel someone's pain and how beautiful pain is, it connects you with people no other medium can connect you with others but pain that's why.
I always say that I'm in pain
that's a blessing in disguise for me today just because I'm in pain and I'm in a wheelchair I work for children as the head of CSR for a company that conducts medical camps in far-flung areas of Pakistan where so many kids die.
They don't have medical facilities, I personally believe just because they cannot afford to live doesn't mean we let them die so we give them money we give medical treatment we try to heal their wounds physically and emotionally.
Work for the beautiful people we call the third gender
the transgender community of Pakistan You know what connects me with them all my imperfections when I go and I hug them they never judge me this very good friend of mine her name is Lee Lee Miss Electricity called herself Electricity and I said are you electricity She's no I'mlightning I'm as strong as lightning
We have because we had a very bad power outage so she didn't want me to call electricity so she says I am very strong I'm a panda I'm lightning she came to me, and the first time I hugged her she said you are just like me, and I said yes I am like you because two people were so imperfect so how beautiful these imperfections are that because of these imperfections you can connect.
With people then why are we all running after being perfect?
what's the point every time I go in public I always smile it's always a big 2d smile on my face People ask me don't you get tired of smiling all the time what's. the secret I always say one thing I have stopped worrying about the things that I have lost the people that I've lost things and people, who were meant to be with me are with me, and sometimes someone makes you a better
person cherish their absence it's always
It is always a blessing in disguiseI always say that people are so lucky they don't even realize you must be thinking okay you are lucky in what sense that the breath that you just took was a blessing Embrace it there are so many people in the world who are dreaming to live a life that you are living right now you have no idea embrace each.
Every breath that you are taking celebrates your life
live it don't die before your death we all die[Applause]we live this one routine of a day for 75years and we call it life no that's not life if you're still thinking why you have been sent here if you're still juggling with the concept of why you were here you haven't lived yet you work hard you make money you do it for yourself that's not.
The life you go out you seek people who need your help.
you make their lives better you become that sponge that can absorb all the negativity and you become that person who can emit beautiful positive vibes when you realize that you have changed someone's life because if this person didn't give up that is the day when you live
we were talking about gratitude.
why do I smile all the time I cry all night when nobody sees me because I'm a human and I have to keep the balance I smile all day because I know that if I smile I can make people smile that keeps me going be grateful for what you have, and you will always end up having more but if you'll cryand if you'll for the little things that you don't have or the things that you've lost you will never.
have enough sometimes we are too busy thinking about the things that we do have that we forget to cherish the blessings that we have I'm not saying that I'm not healthy and that makes me unlucky but yes it is hard when I say that I cannot walk it is hard to say when I wear this bag it hurts but I have to keep going because never giving up is the way to live always so I'll end my talk in a very short not live your
A life that fully accepts yourself the way you are kind
to yourself, I'll repeat be kind, to yourself, and only then you can be kind to others love yourself and spread that love life will be hard there will be turmoils there will be trials but that will only make you.
Stronger never gives up real happiness doesn't.
lie in money or success or fame I have this all I never wanted, this real happiness lies in ingratitude so be grateful, be alive, and live every moment thank you so much everyone thank you...
