Nothing in the world can make you feel anything you don’t choose to, We choose it.
You make your own reality.
In this episode, host Rohan Thakar chats with Divyanshu Ganatra, he's a serial entrepreneur, a clinical psychologist, a thrill-seeker & extreme adventure sports enthusiast & is running a non-profit organization called Adventure Beyond Barriers Foundation(ABBF).
What's amusing is that he lost his eyesight 2 decades back, when he was 19 due to glaucoma.
He is the living proof that if one has a strong will nothing is impossible.
Through ABBF, he is helping the disabled participate in adventure & endurance sports and is an activist who has been voicing his opinion for the need for inclusion & erasing the boundaries that exist between the "abled & disabled".
Sport has the power to unite people, bring hope in them
Divyanshu points out that "normal people" starting from school to one start working rarely meets a person who is "disabled". The reason is that there exists a boundary that doesn't allow & doesn't support the disabled to mix. The infrastructure is not built for inclusion. Something as simple as a footpath is not designed for physically disabled.
He believes, with adventure sports, he can break the beliefs that a person who is "disabled" cannot do what a "normal person" can do.
Listen to the complete episode and by the end of it, you will gain a fresh perspective toward life.
