Lady Who Was Bedridden, & Left With Scars, Recuperates Fully, Counts Her Blessings

A lady named Ibukunoluwa Imabong-abasi Ajayi who was bedridden, has fully recuperated. She was also left with scars, although she did not mention if she was involved in an accident, but she took time to narrate her healing process.

Ibukunoluwa is thankful for life and took time to analyse her blessings.

Sharing on LinkedIn, she wrote:

Life has taught me over and over again that you can’t take things for granted. It took my ability to walk for a long time, so I could appreciate my legs and the gift of walking.

At one point, it took my breathing away, so I could appreciate my nose and the air I freely breathe. It took “years”from me by making me bedridden, so I could appreciate the value of time, taking chances, and opportunities.

It took my self-esteem and self-worth, so I could appreciate what it meant to build and pick yourself up from the ground, and it took my ability to control, so that when I got it back and was finally in control again, I wouldn’t waste it or take it for granted. It took away the idea of perfection and replaced it with scars, so that I can always remember that perfection doesn’t exist, but our scars make us who we are. It basically took the meaning of life away so that when I got a second chance at life, I would find meaning and a purpose for my life and existence…

Unless by divine intervention, there are things that life has taken from me that I may never get to experience. But it’s also given me things I didn’t have before, such as a life that inspires others and an openness to taking risks and living a life without regrets.

One of the major opportunities I’ve grabbed since having a second chance at living is getting an MBA at Nexford University. I never thought in a million years that I’d be able to finish my first degree, much less get an MBA. But I’m super glad I did because it was an amazing experience and time in my life.

I have and will continue to grab opportunities that come my way, whether they pan out or not, because I refuse to take anything for granted. The current situation in Ukraine and Russia has further affirmed this for me, because in the twinkle of an eye, you could lose everything! Tomorrow really is not promised, so live in the moment, take chances, and cherish the small things we often take for granted, because those things are really what life’s all about!
