I suffered a massive setback in my life when I was 17 years old. I was preparing for the IIT-JEE exam. I was quite an average student. However, the teachers in my institute kept on motivating me to do more and more. This plays a key role in developing a strong and resilient mindset.
After 1 year, I was doing quite well in my institute. I was shifted to the batch of top 100 students in the institute who are expected to get decent ranks in the exam.
The setback in my life:
All of a sudden I started having a headache in the back of my head. My mother advised me to go to a psychologist.
She thought I used to study for long hours, which is why the headache is due to stress. She forcefully took me to him. He found my blood pressure was too high. He asked for some blood tests.
I gave the sample and everything seemed usual as he had given me the blood pressure tablet. When I came from school, everybody was weeping at my home.
Still, when no one told me anything, I went to study as my routine habit. The next day, I was admitted to a private hospital and I was put on some machines still had no idea what was going on out there.
The next day I was discharged and sent to AIIMS hospital in Delhi.
The doctors directly told me that both of my kidneys are not working. And the machines I am talking about were for dialysis. I could not control my tears for two days.
They were not because of the disease, but how will I clear IIT exam? Seriously, IIT was stuck in my mind all the time. My hemoglobin was 6.2 and going out was a risky task.
Sandeep Maheshwari in my life:
When I used to go for dialysis, I used to watch his videos. He was a source of energy and hope for me. At such a young age, it was difficult to accept how I was there.
But Sandeep Maheshwari’s quotes made it much easier. They helped in building inner strength during challenging times. I used to watch his videos all the time. I was filled with positivity. And with God’s blessings, I got a kidney within 1 month of diagnosis.
After my surgery, I was put on heavy doses of steroids, which caused severe mood swings. But once again, Sandeep Maheshwari and his motivational quotes seriously changed my life.
Everything started happening as I wanted when I started following him. This shows the power of maintaining a positive outlook in life. Even though there were 3 months for the exam, I was off track with a new life. The situation became different.
However, sometimes it seemed he was talking about me only. His talks made so much meaning and sense in my life situation. Finally, the climax of the story, I cleared IIT with a decent rank of 1467.
I would love to share some of the inspiring quotes from him that anyone can relate. I used to watch his videos and I quote Sandeep Maheshwari every day.
