Life stories (mine & from around the world)
Life is full of small and big challenges which lead to small and big life lessons.
Big life challenges, such as natural catastrophes, war, physical disabilities, serious illness, violence and global pandemics, affect millions of children and adults around the globe. Beyond those, other challenges are forcing us to demonstrate our ability to re-organize our daily routines, endure stress, collaborate with others and find meaning.
When we had the first Covid19 lockdown in March 2020, I had already been dealing with the physical and social restrictions brought upon me by orthopedic surgery I had on my left heel in December 2019. Six months earlier (June 2019), I had suffered a fracture on that heel and X-rays revealed that a rare tumor-like, benign cyst had eaten away, almost entirely, my heel bone.
This temporary disability was very challenging on a physical, social and emotional level. I missed out on opportunities to work, travel, socialize and exercise, while being restricted at home and in a lot of physical pain. At the same time, it pushed me to show determination in finding the best available medical treatment, creativity in dealing with my day-to-day life at home and resilience in order to gradually help my body regain its strength.
The life lesson I earned from my experience was shared through the World Wisdom Map of Project Fuel [https://worldwisdommap.com/lesson/life-lesson-52], a project created to uniquely “document the life lessons and stories of people from each of the 195 countries in the world”.
I encourage you to explore the life lessons shared on the World Wisdom Map. You'll find stories about resilience, patience, gratitude, realization, hope, growth, kindness, responsibility, courage, happiness, and inspiration from how others have dealt with change, negative experiences and intense emotions. It's an opportunity for you to learn about geography, emotions, values, motivations, positive outcomes, the process of discovery and the meaning of constructive relationships with others.
