We cannot control what the universe throws at us but how we react to those curve balls defines who we are and what we make out of our lives.
Just when life seemed rosy and the sun was shining, he sustained a severe spinal cord injury in July 2019 following an operation, which left him with paralysis of both legs, a non-functioning right hand and a long stay in the hospital, eventually leading to a forced medical retirement from his medical career and a wheelchair in place of a sports car. He had to undergo multiple operations but is now permanently disabled. Two months after his injury he was also diagnosed with cancer of the Thyroid for which he needed further operations.
Poorer financially but richer in life experiences, he is now a voice for the disabled. He wrote his first book 'The Second Chance in Life' as an honest reflection of his life experiences to motivate people that every adversity can still be turned into an opportunity. That it is important to be filled with gratitude and appreciation for all the things that we take for granted. He also blogs on his websites www.drbhaskarbora.com & www.thesecondchanceinlife.com
In his own words, he says
"The sun was shining on my life, everything looked rosy. Money was plenty and worries scarce. I had a dream career, a beautiful family, the blessings of my parents and the love of my friends What more could I ask for?
When things go well in life, you assume you are in control. I thought so too. But when faced with unprecedented situations and overwhelming emotions, it is important to maintain trust in yourself and keep moving forward.
When storms come, an eagle flies higher in order to rise above the turbulence, while a mouse hides in a corner. I had to become that eagle and soar higher, not be cornered and crushed in the storm of life.
Believing in myself was the only way. Maybe this was a lesson. Maybe this was a lesson to find a bigger purpose and achieve a bigger dream. Miracles, big and small, happen every day but often we are not receptive enough to understand and appreciate them.
My books are a testament to all the different things that I have learned and experienced and now want to share with my readers honestly and practically.
Join me in this journey."
