Today I had to travel
almost 20 kilometers on the bike, since I enjoy riding, I was happy to go and
visit an ICTC centre for counseling supervision. While I completed my work, and was returning
to my office in the afternoon, I was hit by a heavy bike that was speeding away breaking the traffic rules.
Within a fraction
of seconds, I saw myself lying on the
middle of the road with helmet on my head and vehicles passing all sides. I got
up and tried to lift my bike which was damaged partially, and thanks to an young
adolescent who helped me with the bike, meanwhile the cops too came
and tried to help me start my bike.
For a moment I was
shocked, and was shivering, the only thought that came to my mind was my daughter , tears started rolling down
my eyes – I am not prepared to leave her young, she needs my support and I want
her to be independent, to be living her life.
I have no regrets for
where I am in life, and what I am doing, I am happy for every experience that
has shaped me and has kept me happy, healthy and grateful. I took my bike to the mechanic shop and got
it repaired immediately, and started riding again, to continue my work. I am
thankful to God for the gift of life to me, I just had a narrow escape, and I could
have been killed today!
This incident today has
doubled my gratitude, I am thanking God a hundred times for preserving me and
protecting me, there is not a single scratch on my body, I am safe and secure
despite being hit and fallen on the road – I am beginning to understand that I have
a limited time on this earth, therefore, It becomes extremely important to focus
on what is essential in life.
This experience motivates
me, to renew myself, and relook at the quality of my life, to reach my highest
capacity, to love, give and make a difference to those around.
Be Blessed & Be Happy!
