POSITIVE THINKING DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY DISABILITY
losers of the mind are the losers
There is an old saying that the losers of the mind are the losers, the winners are the winners of the mind, that is, any person's physical deficiency cannot change any decision made by him. When we see a person being successful, then many times we have such a feeling about his success. A thinking is formed in which we try to be happy with a person and often talk about him in such a way that a certain person was not suitable for this achievement and when the same thinking happens about such a person, We cannot change a person's bad thinking in any way, because people have also pointed fingers at this feat done by a disabled person. We see a living example of their narrow mindset in the form of Oscar Pistorius, whom the world recognizes as Blade Runner. After a long legal battle, this runner not only won a medal in the Paralympics but also in the Olympics and showed the world that there is no limit to a person's determination. No destination is too far when a person decides that his life's only goal is to prove to himself that he is not behind anyone, then the man wins the biggest struggle of his life and shows the world that there is no disability in front of him. His. No, we have not just one but thousands of such examples in which society gives a feeling of pity to a person by naming him disabled. But the same person is proved to be a liar by all those who give a feeling of. But the same person proves to be a liar to all those people who were looking at him with pity. A great musician of Bollywood in India is an example of this. He has been blind since birth. Many big directors considered him. He was not given the job. He was considered by many big directors only. He was not given the job because he deserved pity, but when he proved himself in the field of music, people accepted him. Respect is given but it is not a good thing that people look at a person with an inferiority complex because of his physical weakness whereas for this the entire society should come forward and every work done by a disabled person should be appreciated. A sense of self-confidence should be created by encouraging them. India's Satendra Singh Lohia, who created history by making
disability his strength, is a famous Indian para-swimmer who has created history by conquering some of the most challenging swimming competitions in the world.
Major successes achieved by him
• Crossed the English Channel: In 2018, he successfully crossed the English Channel.
Became part of the first Indian para-swimming relay team. He set a new record by completing this impressive milestone in 12 hours and 26 minutes.
• Conquered the Catalina Channel: Also in 2019, he swam the Catalina Channel in the United States, leaving an indelible mark as a global swimming icon.
• First Asian to swim across the North Channel: In 2022, Lohia again created history by becoming the first para-swimmer from Asia to swim the North Channel in Ireland.
Overcoming Challenges: Despite Satendra Singh Lohia having 70% disability in his legs, his determination and unwavering spirit took him to these extraordinary heights. His achievements are a living example of the human ability to overcome adversity.
The society should take some important steps for this such as: Empowering people with disabilities:
A guide to understanding disability
Before we can think about empowerment, it is important for us to understand what disability means. Disability is a very complex condition involving physical, sensory, intellectual and cognitive deficits that can affect a person's daily life.

I Never Chose the Easy Path; I Always Chose Hardship
From the earliest memories I can recall, life presented me with two roads. One was smooth, inviting, and well-trodden—a path that promised comfort, approval, and ease. The other was rough, rocky, and uncertain—a path of struggle, obstacles, and lessons that demanded effort, patience, and resilience. I never chose the smooth road. I never took shortcuts. Not because I was fearless, but because something deep inside refused to let me live a life that wasn’t earned. The easy path whispered promises of fleeting satisfaction, fleeting success, and fleeting recognition. It was tempting. Many around me chose it, and I often wondered if I was foolish for ignoring it. But I learned early that true growth is rarely convenient. The easiest choice often leads to emptiness, to regret, to a quiet knowing that you could have been more than you allowed yourself to be. Hardship became my teacher long before success ever noticed me. The lessons it offered were harsh, uncompromising, and often lonely. There were days when choosing the hard path felt like choosing isolation. While others were celebrated for small accomplishments, supported by friends and family, I walked in silence, with doubt as my companion. Progress was invisible to the world. Failures were frequent and relentless. Many nights, I returned home tired, my heart heavy, my mind questioning why I even bothered. Yet even in that silence, I was being shaped. I was learning the value of persistence, of dedication, and of refusing to give up on myself. The hard path forced honesty. It refused to allow excuses. It stripped away illusions and pretenses. I was left face-to-face with my limits, my fears, and my own humanity. On this path, I discovered strengths I never knew I had: patience I had never cultivated, resilience I had doubted, and self-respect that grew every time I stood up instead of walking away. These were not lessons that could be taught in comfort. They were only learned in struggle, in challenge, and in the quiet persistence of refusing to quit when no one was watching. I remember one time vividly. I had a goal that seemed impossible—one that required me to sacrifice comfort, leisure, and social approval. The easy path was right there: a way to avoid the challenge, to be “okay,” to follow what others had done before me. Many advised me to take it. “It’s safer,” they said. “It’s simpler,” they said. But I could feel, deep inside, that taking the easy way would leave me empty. I chose the hard path. The journey was grueling. Every step felt like pushing against gravity. But with each challenge, I gained more than I ever would have on the easy road. I gained endurance, confidence, and an understanding that real achievement is never handed—it is earned. Strength, I realized, isn’t loud. It doesn’t announce itself. It grows quietly, in the moments no one sees—the early mornings, the long nights, the repeated failures, the times you push forward when giving up would be understandable. Resilience is not simply surviving; it is deliberately choosing to continue, to stand again, to pursue the path that tests you the most. It is knowing that walking away is easier but will never lead to the person you are capable of becoming. I have walked many hard roads in life. Each one was different, yet the lessons were the same: comfort cannot teach endurance, shortcuts cannot teach discipline, and fleeting success cannot teach respect. Every struggle, no matter how small, adds to your character. Every failure is a mirror that shows you who you really are. And every choice to face hardship instead of fleeing builds a foundation that lasts long after temporary victories fade. There were times when I felt truly alone. People around me often misunderstood my choices. Friends, family, colleagues—they all questioned why I refused the easy way, why I worked harder, why I pushed myself beyond what seemed necessary. They didn’t see the growth happening quietly inside me. They didn’t see the small victories, the lessons learned, the resilience being forged. But eventually, the results spoke for themselves—not in a loud announcement, but in the quiet confidence and self-respect that I had built from the inside out. Life, I have learned, rewards those who endure hardship. Not always immediately. Not always visibly. But it rewards those who persist, who face struggle head-on, and who refuse to settle for anything less than becoming their fullest selves. Success that comes without effort is temporary; strength and self-respect are eternal. Hardship tests us, but it also teaches us. It shows us the depth of our own courage, the strength of our will, and the power of refusing to surrender. The lessons of the hard path are subtle, often invisible, and always lasting. I learned that failing is not shameful; failing is a necessary step toward mastery. I learned that enduring pain, even when no one notices, builds a type of strength that comfort never can. I learned that the more difficult the path, the deeper the reward—not measured in wealth or fame, but in character, wisdom, and self-respect. Every choice to embrace struggle instead of avoiding it shaped me. Every sacrifice, every extra hour, every moment of doubt faced instead of ignored, added to the foundation of the person I am today. My life was not easy. It was messy, unpredictable, and often overwhelming. But it was authentic. It was mine. And through hardship, I became resilient. I became someone who can face challenges without fear because I have faced them before. I became someone who respects themselves because I have honored my own effort. I became someone capable of growth because I refused to choose comfort over character. I often reflect on the people around me who chose the easy path. Many of them achieved quick victories, immediate recognition, and temporary peace. But over time, I noticed something important: the victories were shallow, the peace fleeting, and the growth minimal. They lacked the depth of resilience, the quiet power of self-respect, and the profound satisfaction that comes from knowing you endured, you learned, and you became someone stronger. Choosing hardship is not glamorous. It is not celebrated in real-time. It is often lonely, exhausting, and demanding. But it is transformative. It shapes your mind, your heart, and your spirit in ways comfort never can. It teaches discipline, patience, humility, and courage. It makes failure meaningful, effort valuable, and success earned. The hard path is where true people are made—people who understand that life’s challenges are not punishments, but opportunities. Opportunities to become better, stronger, wiser, and more capable. I never chose the easy path. I always chose the harder road, the one that tested me, the one that demanded effort, and the one that required me to face myself honestly. I walked through fear, doubt, exhaustion, and setbacks. I fell, and I got up. I failed, and I tried again. I cried, I questioned, I endured. And through it all, I became someone I could respect, someone who knew the value of persistence, someone who understood that hardship is not the enemy—it is the greatest teacher. Today, I measure success differently. I do not measure it by comfort, convenience, or ease. I measure it by growth, resilience, and the depth of self-respect I have cultivated. I measure it by how I faced challenges I could not ignore, how I embraced struggles that seemed unbearable, and how I refused to take shortcuts at the cost of my own becoming. I never chose the easy path. I chose the one that made me resilient. I chose the one that taught me self-respect. I chose the one that allowed me to become the person I am today. And if I had the choice again, I would choose the hard path every single time. Because the road of struggle is not only a journey—it is the making of a human being.writing...
