Failure, it’s not always good

Learn from your failures they say. Stand up to life and punch it in the face, get up every time you fall and try a little harder the next time, these and many more such quotes. I’ve had my inbox full with such messages since the past 3 years. What my well wishers don’t get is that not every failure is repairable!

Lord of the ring:

I used to be a professional boxer. Usually by the 3^rd round of the fight, I would have my opponent knocked out. Focus, endurance, strength and stamina were my best friends. I was unbeatable. My goal was to win the world championship title which at that moment was pretty far from where I stood. But I was getting close to it with every fight I fought and won.

Distractions:

It isn’t easy to be a boxer. All of it isn’t easy. It’s takes a lot of efforts and sacrifices. I was young, dynamic and had a great fan following. All my friends at that age were married and I was busy training for my goals. I was advised not to have a family as it would be a major distraction. I was a little upset about that. Everyone needs that someone special in their life. But I kept myself motivating with bigger picture which was the world championship title. There were times when thoughts like not having a family would pull me down especially when I was stressed. Stress use to amplify my every negative emotion. Yoga and meditation would help to certain extent but somehow the stress was getting stronger. Closer I came to my goal, stronger became the stress levels.

Stress:

I wasn’t really aware of any breakthrough remedies for curbing my stress levels. Stress started keeping me distracted all the time. It started weakening me at a very important phase of my life. It started affecting my performance in a major way and there was very little I could do about it.

Sucker Punch:

One fine fight changed my life. Like for any other fight, I was well prepared for this one too. And like for any other fight, I was stressed for this one too. Only difference was that I let stress take over me. I was almost on the verge of getting knocked out in the first round itself. Somehow I survived and that was the turning point of my life. I was completely distracted and more than my vision, my focus was blurred. Before I could get a hold of what was happening, I got hit by a power jab! I was knocked out obviously. But this wasn’t the worst part. The punch had pushed me real hard towards the turnbuckle. At that moment, I had passed out with the punch itself and had no clue as to how severe it was. As I regained my consciousness in the hospital, I got to know that the fall had twisted my neck permanently! I simply couldn’t move my neck. It was completely paralyzed. The doctors said this is going to stay this way till I die followed by the other bad news that I can’t fight anymore. I wanted to pull the plug there itself. My life had no meaning left. I couldn’t fight anymore, I had no family of my own and my goal was flushed down the drain. I fell in a pit of depression.

Swartantra:

My doctor informed me about Swartantra. He said that it can help you heal psychologically. They are known for promoting healthy stress free lifestyle. Moskha is a device by Swartantra which produces positive vibrations which are customized for every individual. I started using Moksha and I can say it definitely works. My depression reduced to quite an extent. If only somebody had informed me about this before, I would have had my health now. It could have been worst though. I was suicidal for a long time. I’m still glad that I was introduced to it before it was too late.
