Finding More Love And Hope To Get Healed
Shrada
Just about two years ago, I was completely lost. More than 25kg overweight, severe backache, swelling in my feet. I couldn’t take a step off to go. I’ll drive one and half hour in the car. When I would get off, I just couldn’t take a step foot off because there was no circulation of blood in my feet.
It was terrible. When I went for a whole body check-up, I was handed over a complete file of prescriptions, which I held in one hand when I came back. And, my eyes drifted to a book that was lying on the shelf called The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. I lifted that book, and it spoke of a quote from that book, that whenever my mind drifts away from that, which is good and constructive, I would like to bring it back to that, which is lovely.
Trust me. Today, where I am is without a single bill.
Kamala Chambers
Such a beautiful journey that to be able to go all the way through that, and get to a place of healing, and feeling good in your body again.
How does that all tie into believing in yourself?
Shrada
When I began to read, I picked up books from Tony Robbins. And then, one fine day, I came across an anecdote by Mr. Les Brown. When I read that story, even as if I speak with you, I’m getting goosebumps. Every word of his on that anecdote resonated with my being.
I felt as if he wrote that passage for me. It’s as if he was telling me, “Don’t give up. Life is hard, and it happens but what matters is what happens within you. And when things go bad, don’t go with them.”
All of this stuff came across to me day after day. I started following him on Facebook, and I started jotting down all his anecdotes into my journal.
Finding Love And Hope To Believe In Yourself
Shrada
From there, the Les Brown Maximum Achievement Team contacted me and invited me to join them as their first founding member from India. At 4 AM in the morning, I received the call. In my sleep, I was talking to them. I don’t want to cut my Laws of Attraction, so I believed every word that they said, and thanked God for this opportunity.
Today, I thank myself that I believed at that moment because it has taken me to where I am today. Out of the 140 members who were chosen as founding members, only 20 was selected to go live at the lessons stage and India was one of them.
Being born in a village in Bihar and reaching the US and giving a speech live with Les Brown on stage, the universe couldn’t have blessed me with anything more than go on believing in myself. Yes, only I can make it happen for me. Nobody else is going to do it for me.
Luis Congdon
That’s cool to hear how your story evolved from finding a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer, and your body is in massive amounts of pain. It sounds like you were very sick. You didn’t have love and hope for yourself at that time to reading some passages and being inspired to turn that around.
Some of the things that you said make it clear to me that you went through a process of changing how you talked to yourself, changing your energy around how much you care about yourself or how much you believed in possibilities.
Can you tell me a little bit about that process?
I know today you’re calling in from a small place in India and now to somebody who’s recognized online. I found you through Facebook. A variety of people recommended that I reach out to you as part of our female empowerment series, speaking with entrepreneurs, and women who are making a difference.
It’s just very cool to me to talk to somebody who’s gone through such a transformation.
What did you start changing in yourself to have this shift happen?
Living With Love And Hope Can Be Transformative
Shrada
The first thing I began to do was to read and write.
As a child, when I was born in that village, my parents sacrificed to send me to a boarding school at the age of four. From there, I picked up the fact that education was the most important thing for me to thrive in this world.
My parents would visit me one day before if I would top my class because they could come for my price distribution. I focused on studies and reading. Seeing my daddy one day before the break meant a lot to me because we had no contact for nine months. There were no phone calls, no internet, nothing. There was nothing at all in the 70’s.
I don’t remember loving to read at that time and writing even then.
Writing About Love And Hope
Shrada
So the first thing that I did for this transformation if you ask me is I began to read and write and do a lot of journaling. As I would read, I would make notes. As I would hear Tony Robbins, Mr. Les Brown, Earl Nightingale, and all of the people, I would start making notes.
When you write, you feel what you are writing.
Everything began to incorporate in my being, and that is what changed me. Because whenever my attention did drift away, it yet came back. The span of distraction became shorter and shorter, and it kept focusing on what I wanted. I kept moving forward to what I wanted in life, and that was I wanted a healthier and a happier life.
So, I forgot about what had happened to me, and I chose to get back.
Kamala Chambers
I love that. I would love to hear from you what your message would be to someone who is struggling with believing in themselves.
What could they do to have more confidence and start believing in themselves?
Shrada
Life happens. Life happens to everyone. Life happened to me too.
Be Mindful To Attain Love And Hope
Shrada
I was banned from reading and writing for over 20 years. I chose to believe in myself, and I wasn’t committing any crime. So your heart always speaks the truth.
When you start believing that you’re doing something with a good attitude, and it’s not something that is hurting anybody, then, the universe tends to uplift you and raise you from where you are at that moment.
Shrada
So when you get within yourself, start becoming mindful and acknowledging yourself for who you are, that is the time when you start believing.
You can’t pour from an empty cup. You need to take care of yourself.
Kamala Chambers
Give from your overflow. What a beautiful message.
Before we close out today, what is one thing you can say that you’d recommend that we could go out and all apply in our lives today?
Endless Possibilities When You Live With Love And Hope
Shrada
Bring love and hope into your life because when you do that, the possibilities are endless.
You can’t begin to imagine what all you can achieve when you bring love and hope into your life.
Kamala Chambers
