Hey! <\/span>Any plans for the weekend after a long (too short) week <\/span><\/p>\n

off from work during Golden Week?<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we\u2019d like to introduce you to a special girl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her name is Paola Antonini, a very popular model from Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of you might know of her already, but her story is so inspiring that it\u2019s definitely worth reading about her again.<\/span><\/p>\n

She has a beautiful smile and long hair; she\u2019s very good looking and has worked hard to maintain a very nice physique.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s so special about her?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are tons of beautiful girls with great smiles, long hair, and a good physique,\u201d you might say.<\/span><\/p>\n

While this is true, her case is quite particular.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scroll to see why.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She has a prosthetic leg and isn\u2019t afraid to show it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite facing darkness and death at one point in her life, she decided that this wouldn\u2019t be her fate.<\/span><\/p>\n

She took control of everything that happened next and changed her mindset entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was the Christmas Eve of 2014.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Paola was only nineteen at that time and had gone on vacation with her boyfriend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as she was about to get into her car, a drunk driver drove straight into her and over her left leg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the doctor’s best efforts, the 19-year-old still wouldn\u2019t be able to keep her left leg and was forced to remove it from below the knee.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately, this wasn\u2019t the end.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Her left leg became infected after the operation, and it spread quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The doctor told her: “If you want to live, a second amputation is required.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This meant that Paola would lose her entire left leg. <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s obviously hard for anyone to accept losing a part of their body, particularly a leg. <\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of burdens and pains – both physical and mental – come with such a tragedy. <\/span><\/p>\n

And yet, despite all these unfortunate incidents, the worse came when Paola\u2019s boyfriend ran away and left her behind. <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

\"5.png\"<\/p>\n

\n

This was a real blow.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I try not to look at my leg, I know it’s serious. That’s what I’ve been through in my life. The most profound pain. If I can’t change this fact, I’d better accept it with optimism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Her family couldn’t hide their pain for her.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6.png\"<\/p>\n

But if there\u2019s anything we know, it\u2019s that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Between perpetual unhappiness and gratitude for being alive, I chose the latter.”<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you treat life, and how will life treat you in return?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Paola seems like a different person. <\/span><\/p>\n

While comforting the family, she began her long rehabilitation training.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

It’s a painful process, no doubt about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if you want to live independently for the rest of your life, you have to stick to it, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

She began to get used to her new leg.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where there is life, there is movement, and with that in mind, <\/span><\/p>\n

Paola continues to work out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

The most important step to changing your reality is not to escape it, but to accept your limitations and work around them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of constantly overthinking her physical disability, she embraces it.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s this positive outlook on life that helped Paola get back on her feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

She wears her bikini just like she has in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s more beautiful than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"19.png\"
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

She put on a beautiful flowery skirt and smiled brighter than anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"20.png\"<\/p>\n

\n

The deformity of the limbs cannot prevent the fullness of the spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

With optimism, she is still engaged in her favorite modeling career.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

\"21.png\"
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"22.png\"<\/p>\n

\n

Now she\u2019s even more ambitious and eager to help others who have had similar experiences to help them stand up proudly again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"23.png\"
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of people who are suffering from diseases get the power of “rebirth” from her.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"24.png\"
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

There are many people who have had a good ride all their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there are also people who fall in midstream.<\/span><\/p>\n

We should redouble our efforts to revise our life with abundant vigor and catch up with the good life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"25.png\"<\/p>\n

Sometimes going to the edge is not necessarily a bad thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’ll help you find yourself again, won’t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s embrace life.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s beautiful.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
