Gomorron Sverige | Elin Härkönens blogg

Yes I am a bit nervous to be honest. Nervous in a good way. I am so happy I get the chance to come to SVT and talk about my overcoming story... It is time to share it with the world. My story, my life changing experience, the nightmare I needed to fight through... my mindset, my strong driving force, the importance of the right support, the new perspective of life I have got... I want more people to hear about it. I want to share my experiences and everything I've been through.. Cause I believe it can help someone out there... I do actually wish I would have had someone like me, with similar experiences when I went through it all. someone like me who could have given me some extra hope and light in the darkness I was in. It has been a nightmare , I am not trying to say it has been easy,. during the first 2 years I was actually doubting if I would ever be able to be happy "for real" again.. I tried to stay positive, cause that's how I am and I was so extremely thankful. It could have been so much worse.

They said it was a miracle I was alive... but even if I tried my hardest, I wasn't happy for real.

I had lost what previous was my EVERYTHING. My active elite life, my strong body which I could control in an amazing way, on a running horse. My sport, my identity, my passion. I had lost who I was...my identity was gone. I couldn't move the way I was use to... Everything was hurting. And the unknowing about the future was terrifying. BUT I never gave up. I kept fighting. I Believed deep inside that I would MAKE IT. Even if people was telling me I wouldn't be able to run, train or be an elite athlete again... I knew, they were wrong. I knew I was going to: BREAK IT and MAKE IT. I never gave up. Today I am living to inspire, help and motivate people to live the best life they possibly can. I want to be the light in someone elses darkness. I want to be a motivation to keep fighting. I want to be an inspiration . I want to share my story, so I can help. I did survive, and I do believe it was for a reason. I am meant to help people. And tomorrow more people will get to hear my story.

The girl who broke her neck, but are today against odds the European Champion. Tomorrow live at 8:21 SVT, Gomorron Sverige. ( i hope I can keep my emotions under control....)
