Real-Life Example of Minda Dentler

Minda
Dentler
Minda Dentler was born in Mumbai and
contracted with polio. Due to this her hips & down portion of her body got
paralyzed. Eventually, her own mother dumped her in an orphanage. By the time,
she was adopted by one of the American family and she moved Spokane,
Washington. After some time she went through a series of operations related to
hips, legs, and back. Fortunately, she could walk with crutches and braces.
Minda Dentler struggled a lot during her childhood and during her young age.
People always looked at her with an annoying face because she always lived her
life with a back brace and leg brace with chicken legs. Which did not
look pretty But she never gives
up.
She could not play sports but was
always active in volunteering and hospitality parts during her highschool. As
we know,
God has a plan for everyone he created and none of his creations are meant to be purposeless. Every human being for that matter was brought forth with a specific and unique duty to uptake while he lives on earth.
1st Breakthrough of her life
At the age of 28, she entered sports
of hand cycling, and as per god plans she teamed up with Jason Fowler, an
Ironman World Champion at a camp of athletes with disabilities. This was a
breakthrough in her miserable life. Then she decided to participate in the
Ironman World Championship. At the age of 34, she went for Kona (Hawaii) for
the championship.

13th October 2012 she never forgot.
Because she was in the battle of Ironman Championship. Struggling with
muscles burning, tiredness, and dehydration. When she reached the top
15miles climb (24.14km) she was discouraged. Because she needs to complete a
swim marathon (3.86Km) within a time limit, but she was 2 hours off the pace
from other participants. Eventually, she took the decision to quit. She began
crying in front of her husband (Shawn) and best friend (Shannon). Her dream of
completing the Ironman Championship was broked up. She was worried about
her friends, family, and people's thoughts on failure.
After that disaster, she again
teamed with her best friend Shannon. She said, "Minda, Big dreams and goals can
only be realized when you are ready to fail." After
hearing this line Minda was energized with full energy and said "This
is not the first time I had faced stoppable odds."
"This hurts. Quit." And I told myself, "Minda, you better focus. Focus on what you can control, and that is your attitude and your effort." I resolved to be OK being uncomfortable, and I told myself, "Push harder, forget about the pain, and keep that laser focus.
Life isn't easy or perfect. Have faith that setting your goals and working towards achieving them will pay off in the end.
