Kira Grünberg: From Training Accident to Inspiration – How She Celebrates Her "Life Day" and Changes the World

How Kira Turned Adversity into New Strength

"I decided not to see this day as the worst of my life, but as a day of rebirth," explains the now 31-year-old with remarkable determination. Instead of struggling, she celebrates the anniversary of her accident as the beginning of a new chapter. An attitude that surprises many but shows her extraordinary mental strength.

In the ten years since the accident, Grünberg has not only learned to live with her paraplegia but has become an inspiration to countless people. "I am extremely proud of myself," she says, reflecting on the last decade, and rightly so.

From Top Athlete to Politician and Motivational Speaker

After the end of her sports career, Kira found new ways to contribute. She became the youngest member of the Austrian National Council, advocates for accessibility, and shares her story as a sought-after motivational speaker. Her message is clear: Life goes on, even if it takes a different path than planned.

"Many people ask me how I can stay so positive," reveals Grünberg. Her answer is as simple as it is profound: "I realized early on that negative thoughts don't help me. They only drain energy that I need for my daily life."

Love and Family as Important Pillars

In her new life, love also plays an important role. With her partner, she has found someone who supports her and with whom she can share her life. "Family and close friends were and are my greatest support," emphasizes Kira. They have helped her to look forward and set new goals.

The celebration of the "Life Day" has now become a tradition. With a small celebration and people who are close to her, she celebrates every year on July 30th not what she has lost, but what she has gained: a new perspective and unexpected strengths.

What We Can All Learn from Kira

Kira Grünberg's story is more than just a report about a stroke of fate. It is a shining example of how one can create light from the darkest moments of life. "Everyone has their own challenges," she says, "but what matters is how we deal with them."

Ten years after the day that changed her life forever, Kira Grünberg not only looks back but above all looks forward. With every "Life Day" she celebrates, she reminds herself and others that life is precious—no matter what obstacles it holds for us.
