So you think you can’t do this and you can’t do that? You think you are worthless? You think life is a burden for you. Just hold on, look at this man and then look again at yourself. Nick has no arms no legs.
See Nick’s Video here.
Nick Vujicic was born in 1982. His parents were heartbroken to see him missing all his arms & legs. They tried their best to raise him as a normal child. Though there was nothing normal in his life. Simple chores of life like eating, opening door, changing clothes & visiting washroom were impossible for him let alone studying or playing. He became suicidal by age of 10 seeing no future for himself and attempted suicide couple of times but survived. He was convinced that he will never make a career or get married and lead a normal life.
“So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?” Al Quran
At the age of 13 Nick hurt his foot which he used as hand, only to realize how important it is for him. It made Nick focus on what he has instead of what he was missing. Nick says:
“Man should be thankful to God for what he has than be angry for what he doesn’t. And he should focus on what he can do rather than what he can’t.”
Nick turned into a committed Christian. A caretaker inspired him to start speaking about his adversities and how he overcame those. He started doing so in front of few people. Then one day he found himself in front of 300 grade 10 students. Nick was very nervous. Within 3 minutes of start, girls were crying and boys were hardly managing their emotions. A girl stood up and said “I am so sorry to interrupt but can I hug you? She hugged Nick & whispered in his ear “Thank you, no one has ever told me that they loved me and that I am beautiful the way I am”.
“It is a lie that you are not good enough. God has created everyone with a purpose.”
This changed Nick’s life. He set two goals; one, he will make his life a success, and two he will spread Christianity and help others to build their life through appreciation & support. He became a motivational speaker and started visiting people across many countries. He has spoken 2000 times in 44 countries by now!
“If I kept wishing all my life I wish I had arms and legs, I won’t have them. Wishing alone doesn’t help. Some things in life can’t be changed; for others you need to work hard”.
Nick graduated in Accounting & Finance, and now runs his own company “Attitude is Attitude”. He writes books, CDs and delivers speeches. He married to such a beautiful lady that you won’t believe, and now he is father of a son. Nick is so happy in his life that many people with perfect body aren’t.
Unique thing about Nick is not that he doesn’t have limbs, but that he made his life successful despite sever hardships. Let me remind you of another Handless Amin from Pakistan.
Nick leads a real difficult life. See video how Nick manages his daily life. We have all the blessings from God; health, wealth and time, yet we complain.
“So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?” Al Quran
We can learn two lessons from Nick’s life:
1- No matter what you have or have not, keeping Fighting for your goal in Life
2- Help others Succeed in Life.
So, do you still think you can’t do it?
