At the end of 2019, I lost my teeth due to a traffic accident. It took me weeks to recover the road rash. During that time, I learned two life lessons. Here they are.

First things first, I did accept the fact that I just had an accident and got injured as the consequence. I also told myself that it would take few days to recover and months to have my teeth back. So it was okay and I just needed to enjoy the process. I believed that millions of cells in my body were working their best to recover all injuries. To keep them on duty with high spirit, I encouraged them by maintaining my mood to be good at anytime since the very first second of the accident. I forbade any negative energies that would ruin my mood or take me down. Positive vibes only! So, accept the fact and encourage ourself.

I treated my injuries with care and wishing them to recover ASAP. I applied Betadine every morning and covered with medical bandage whenever I would go out. And they proved it in about three weeks for total recovery (until all scabs were fallen off)!

If I blamed the accident, the car owner, or anything that made me lost my teeth, it was the negative energy starting to cover my mind 🚫. Negative energy would slow down the recovery time or even worsen the wound.

Chanting daimoku and practicing Buddhism 🙏🏻 helps me get used to keep calm in any situation. Any other faith may do the same, just have faith in it.

The next thing I learned is that surrounding ourself with good people and positive energies will help and lift up in any worst situation. In my case, I have friends of SGI, Mobilepulsa, and my uni-life. I never stop feeling grateful despite of the pain and loss. Really appreciate each one of those who had helped, encouraged, brought me lots of food, and been there for me.

A plus, always be grateful for every little thing that come together within the bad situation. I got those motorcycle riders who helped me at the time of the accident.

To keep them in my memory, I wrote this post. So whenever I read this, I will be grateful and encourage myself.

Anyway, I’m all good. Still have numbers of teeth treatment, but I can eat satay and steak right now! Oh, there are many scars and I am in a mission to camouflage them by applying an oil. Thankfully, no infection so far.

Hope you always surround yourself with positivity.

Cheers!
