NICHOLAS VUJICIC

Nicholas James Vujicic, is an Australian preacher and motivational speaker born with Tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. As a child, he struggled mentally and emotionally, as well as physically, but eventually came to terms with his disability and, at the age of seventeen, started his own non-profit organization, Life without Limbs. With this project Nick wants to challenge people to live without limits by looking at what he can do despite his disability. Too often we tell ourselves we arent smart enough or attractive enough or talented enough to pursue our dreams. Whats worse is that when you consider yourself unworthy, you are putting limits on how God can work through you. he says. Vujicic shares that growing up he couldnt imagine what kind of career or life he could have as an adult without arms and legs. But now, he is a successful motivational speaker who has shared his testimony with millions of people. He can also play the drums, type on the computer, swim, and mostly take care of himself despite not having limbs. People who listen to his speeches affirm that after listening to Nick everything seems better in life. Nick teaches how to appreciate what weve got. He tries to make us realize how overcoming obstacles in life is much easier than we think it is. A British teenager related that Nick inspired her when she followed a link from a Twitter Tweet and saw him on YouTube. I was moved to tear. she confesses. In conclusion, Nick is an absolute fighter who has turned a handicap into an ability. Its impressive how strong and hopeful he is. In my view, we should all think about the things that make us unhappy and ask whether they are bad enough to make us sad.
