Watch Video: A Differently Abled Delivery Rider Defining The Human Spirit
This viral video of a disabled swiggy delivery rider is a message of hope and strength
There’s a famous philosophy - mind over matter. It basically tells us that most of our limitations are what we hold true in our minds. This incredible human here is Parashurama, and he works as a delivery partner for Swiggy. He rides a Hero Destini 125 to work. Life for him is the same as you and me, but also very different in many ways. Often, people like him leave behind an important life lesson – purpose over motivation.
When ill fate hits you like a train, life can feel very hopeless. Soon after, we can find ourselves at our lowest when everything seems to be out of control. But if you ask the ones who have seen the light at the other end of the tunnel, they will tell you, the journey back begins in the mind. The mind is a funny thing, it’s fragile like a flower and yet can be hardened like steel; but because it can be trained, it’s limitless. And Parashurama shows us just that. His mind now powers his will, the will to thrive!
You know, a long time ago Darwin observed, only the fittest survive. But his observations came purely from living things that weren’t human; and human beings, I’ve come to observe, thrive best with the fitness of the mind and toughening of the spirit. Humans like this man are beacons of hope, one that reminds you that when all hope is lost, your mind is stronger than you know, and your spirit is your rampart.
