Takeaway From this success story:

Be Appreciative ~ 

• Some things are going well, even when it seems like everything is going wrong. Jot down everything you are thankful for each day that has happened to you. Give a detailed description of every item. Enjoy the happiness that items provide you. Even if the issue is as little as your car starting this morning. Appreciate it. This will assist you in maintaining your optimistic outlook.

~ There will be days when the route is obstructed and obscured by doubt. You'll experience disorientation,
There will be clean paths on other days. You'll proceed with confidence. Everything will seem natural,
The capacity to keep focused on the path even on the darkest days separates those who succeed from those who fail,
All that has to be done is "keep going, keep going what come may." It will lead someplace eventually.

Concentrate on little adjustments ~

Avoid creating mental mountains. Don't attempt to take over the entire globe at once. Seeking huge, rapid cures (immediate pleasure) leads to needless suffering and frustration in life. Rather, you ought to view every instant as a chance to invest a small but constructive amount of yourself; the benefits will follow. This is because there are many small things you can easily correct while everything else in your life is collapsing. But when things are going well, it's simple to get into a rut of complacency. It's simple to underestimate your extraordinary capacity and ingenuity.

Stay On Your Path~ 

We are always constructing our road, and the more we go along this particular path, the more difficult it may become for us to comprehend, much less convey to others. When faced with fear, instability, or confusion, we naturally want to seek something comfortable. Probably not the best prospect we can imagine and probably not our route is that which is known to us.
Often, success is a result of following our course. Because of myths that suggest decent people cannot succeed, we either reject the things that may help us blissfully continue on the route or we believe the path we are on is erroneous.

Despite facing obstacles due to his dwarfism, Ganesh overcame challenges to complete his MBBS degree.

Looking at the Big Picture and Never Losing Your Purpose ~ 

Discouragement is a negative emotion with more than one trick up its dark sleeve. It could trick Dr. Ganesh into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place he would want to leave. But he dropped all such sorrow permanently by daring to see through this deception of his unconscious mind. He always had a destination far beyond where he finds himself standing today!  Ending this article in his words on his everyday challenges owing to his height, Dr Baraiya said '' though patients judge him for his height initially, they get comfortable over time and accept him as their doctor.

They become happy as well.''
