Nick Vujicic
Nick Vujicic's life is a testament to living life without limits. His attitude of gratitude is beyond anything I've seen or read. (I believe you will agree with me.) |
Being limbless has not stopped him from becoming an international motivational speaker, preacher and director an organization he founded, LifewithoutLimbs.org . He swims, golfs, surfs and lives his life to the fullest!
I've written briefly before about Nick in my ezine The Nautilus. (See June 2009 Issue - his video is half-way through the ezine!)
I wanted to dedicate this page to Nick's courage, in hopes that you too will be motivated, but mostly inspired to make your life extraordinary and become the best you can be. You deserve it and so does the world!
but inspiration lasts a lifetime."
-Nick Vujicic
Nick Vujicic, (pronounced Vooey-Cheech) was born on December 4, 1982 in Melbourne Australia. For unexplained medical reasons he was born with no arms or legs.
Growing up was not easy for Nick because he was often teased in school. His parents chose not to send him to a "special" school for children with disabilities. Rather he attended an integrated school as any other child, decision which was hard for him to accept but in the long run helped him face and overcome many obstacles.
By 10 years of age he became so depressed about his condition that he contemplated suicide. He would pray for the miracle of limbs. When this didn't happen he began to be grateful for being alive. One life-changing experience came when his mother showed him a newspaper cut-out of a man who used his disability to inspire others. It was then than Nick knew his life's purpose.
So at 17 he began to address groups as a motivational speaker. He later went to college and graduated at 21 with a double major in Administration and Finances!
His motto has become "Never Give Up", as you'll see in the video below. Every time I watch it, it brings tears to my eyes. He is truly inspirational and is a reminder that we can accomplish anything we desire - if we set our minds to it and never give up.

Life without limits is how he has chosen to live his life now. He's even writing a book entitled: No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!
Take a look at one of his speeches to a group of young folks and what he is able to do not only physically but with his life.
