(5) CommentsWe humans always complain even for the slightest of discomfort we face. The smallest scratch on our arms makes us go mad at the person responsible for it. Now, Imagine this if you were born with your limbs. Yes, no legs or hands. Whom will you curse now GOD ? or would you think I would die rather ?

” God didn’t have time to make a nobody, only a somebody.I believe that each of us has God-given talents within us waiting to be brought to fruition. ”
In this post I will tell you about a man who faced the exact same fate. His name is Nick Vujicic , He was first born child into his devout Serbian Christian family, Nick Vujicic was born in Sunnybank, Brisbane, Australia, limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and having one small foot with two toes protruding from his left thigh. Initially his parents were devastated, however Nick turned out to be otherwise perfectly healthy.
His life was filled with difficulties and hardships. One such hardship was not being able to attend a mainstream school because of his physical disability, as the law of Australia required, even though he was not mentally impaired. During his schooling, the laws were changed, and Nick was one of the first disabled students to be migrated to a mainstream school.Being bullied at his school, Nick grew extremely depressed, and by the age of eight, started contemplating suicide. After begging God to grow arms and legs, Nick eventually began to realize that his accomplishments were inspirational to many, and began to thank God he was alive. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group, and eventually starting his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.

Nick graduated from college at the age of 21 with as a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning. He began his travels as a motivational speaker, focusing on the topics that today’s teenagers face. He also speaks in the corporate sector, however his aim is to become an international inspirational speaker, in both Christian and non-Christian venues. He regularly travels internationally to speak to Christian congregations, schools, and corporate meetings. He has spoken on four continents (Africa, Asia, Australia, and North America), in over 12 countries, and to over two million people face to face.
Well this is his story, and I am totally inspired by his story. He is a direct testimonial to mind over matter. There is nothing bad that can ever happen which makes you quit. Being born in this cruel world without limbs by itself is the worst thing that can ever happen to a human being, but even after being born so today he is a successful man and is financially independent. He used his biggest disability to his biggest strength. Not only he is financially independent he is being blessed by millions of people across the world for changing there life forever.
To reach more people he is currently writing a book titled “No Arms, No Legs, No Worries”. His company “Attitude Is Altitude” also sells a DVD about his life. If you are planning to support his Non-Profit organization do get involved.
From his story we can learn
- Life can be really un fare at times. How we take it can make all the difference.
- Never say quit. Remember there is always a better future waiting for you.
- Nothing is impossible.
- If you think can do it, you will do it.
- Don’t hide your emotions, express them.
- Believe in your self at all times.
Next Time You Think Life is Hard.Think Again!

5 Tips to mend a broken heart
Posted by Allwin Samuel Jeba at 24 Jun, 2008
(3) CommentsIt can be a very painful experience for the person who has just come out of a broken relation. There can be several reasons that can lead to a broken relation, but the fate at the end of it are broken hearts. Mending a broken heart can be very difficult, requires lots of inner strength and lots of care from your near and dear ones. Some people who can’t find support from near ones usually turn to alcohol which can only do more harm than good.

The pain of having a broken heart is not so much as to kill you, yet not so little as to let you live.
In this post I will try to give 5 tips that will surely help you out in someway to come out of this stressful situation.
1) Erasing their memory
Erasing there memory can help speed up the healing process, every time we see there picture or the gifts they gave it reminds of all those bitter moments which we really want to forget. Remove his/her picture from the wallet/album and give it to someone else who can keep them safely untill you want them back. The question that might be raising in your mind is why would you want it back anyways ? The possible answer to this question can be, just because you had few bitter moments doesn’t mean you should forget those precious better moments that you had. Never ever distroy those memories as you may regret it later when you need them.
2) Alter you schedule
Make an abrupt change to your schedule, this will help you to forget his/her quickly. If we still follow the same schedule you will tend to remember him/her at a particular point of time for eg. when he/she used to call. Plan your schedule in such a way that you are keeping yourself busy at that point of time. Avoid the places where you people used to meet and spend time.
3) Get busy / Get a new hobby
A famous saying says ” An idle mind is a devils playground “. So based on this principal get yourself a new hobby. A hobby can really get you busy and make you feel better. A creative mind is far away from all stress and pain. The hobby you choose can be of your choice, some of the hobbies can be painting, gardening, collecting, photography etc. I would highly recommend gardening compared to other hobbies because it can really make you busy and nothing feels better than connecting to the nature.
4) Go out connect with friends
It is really important to connect to friends when you are broken from inside. Connecting to friends will help ease your pain. Share your pain with your friends and they will surely help you get out of it. Try to be in someone’s company at all time. This will keep you away from your ex partner’s thought. If you are one of those who doesnt like to go out much, you can make new friends via Social Networking websites like Orkut, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
5) Apply these Tips
You are really not helping yourself, if you are not applying the above said tips to your practical life. For applying these tips, you must first prepare yourself to come out of this situation. Once you have decided you are coming out of this situation, stick to it and soon you will realize you are back to normal kicking ass! Just imagine yourself how you were before this relation started. Just be yourself for no one can/should change you!!
Always remember there is always another day, another hope, another love!
After this post if I was able to mend one broken heart, I think I have done my job.
