"100 Reasons I Chose to Live"

  You Are Already That The First of 100 Reasons I Chose to Live There are seasons in life that cannot be described through medical reports, prescriptions, or diagnoses. They are lived silently, deep within the folds of the heart, where pain becomes a constant companion and hope appears distant. The past few months have been one such season for me. Three months before surgery and the period that followed tested me in ways I had never imagined. Physical pain became a daily reality. Every movement carried discomfort. Every day demanded energy that I often did not have.  The body, which had faithfully carried me through decades of service, suddenly demanded my complete attention. Yet the physical pain was only one part of the story. There was emotional pain. There was the exhaustion of carrying responsibilities when the body wanted rest. There were moments of uncertainty, fear, and vulnerability. There were silent battles that few people could see. There were expectations to meet,...

  Find the People Who Remind You Who You Are One of the greatest discoveries I made during my healing journey was that recovery is not only about medicine, treatment, or time. It is also about people. Not the people who tell you what you want to hear. Not the people who rescue you from every difficulty. But the people whose presence reminds you of your own strength. During the months when pain became a constant companion, I met many kinds of people. Some offered sympathy. Some offered advice. Some disappeared. Some remained. What surprised me most was that healing often arrived through unexpected conversations, silent support, simple gestures, and the unwavering presence of a few individuals who never allowed me to forget my purpose. Adi Shankaracharya repeatedly emphasized the importance of Satsanga —the company of truth seekers. In the Bhaja Govindam , he says: "Satsangatve Nissangatvam" Through noble company comes freedom from unhealthy attachments. Through freedom from un...
