Yesterday I bought a new TV Stand for my TV as i did not have a particular place to keep it. It was a quick drive to Arpico Battaramulla to buy it. I brought it in my car only to realise that i needed someone to support me to carry it to my living room in the upstair apartment.It was simply way too heavy (Guess its around 70Kg) and was broad for me and i did’nt have a proper grip to hold it. There was no one around to support me and only my landlord (Who i guess is well into his 70s) was downstairs.

So i made my mind to do it ON MY OWN.

There are about sixteen steps up the stair case and i did finally manage to take the large TV stand to my living room only after spending 45 minutes climbing 16 steps. After climbing each step with the TV stand i had to rest for atleast 2-3 minutes to catch my breath :) . Finally when i made it, i was just soaked in sweat, bu nevertheless i felt a sense of pride.

For a moment it looked virtually impossible to carry it up the stairs. (Too heavy, too broad and i had to be carefull with the glass doors and the stairs were narrow) I guess i realised one thing here. Sometimes sheer determination can overcome any physical limitations you think which exist.Its just mind controlling your body. Once you make up your mind to do something its 80% done.
