In few minutes, I will share with us stories of two great women who made use of their pieces to become whole even when they got reasons to fail Sometimes, betrayal, disappointment, failure may want to push us to be discouraged Felt bad or think life is too cruel at us
In times like this, I want us to consider reasons to stand and not excuses to fall. The first woman I'm sharing her success story is:
Muniba Maziri
Who is she?
She is a Pakistan Artist, Model, Activist, Motivational Speaker and Singer
At her late teens, she had no option than to marry!. Though, this marriage do no last a long time before it collapsed
At age 21,she was going out with her husband one day and an accident occured
Fortunate for her husband, he was able to jumped out but Muniba was too helpless
This caused her to sustained many injuries and lost the ability to walk again
While on bed in hospital, she received the news that her husband had gone to remarry
At first, this news was believed to have worsen her situation or even lead to death
Surprising, she smiled (though in pains) and wrote a congratulatory message to her husband
Wishing him well on his wedding
While still on bed, Muniba sent for ink and board to continue her paintings
From there, she pictured a very obvious image...
Surprising, while lying on bed, with no hope to be able to walk again, she never let what she had passion for stopped
She kept believing that even life told her she won't, she believed she can
At a time, she was called Disabled, with smiles, she replied, "I am not disabled, but extremely able...
After years on sick, she started using wheelchair ♿️
This made her to become the first Pakistan's wheelchair model.
Define your weakness, With what Muniba experienced, she never gave up.
She never let her trials hid the treasures within.
She never stop smiling.
She began using her story as motivating syrup to mend broken hearts.
Second woman...
