Beautiful ScrapsThe Self Improvement Blog

We 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.
