Fear is a strong motivator. We have often heard that what people fear most are death, taxes, and public speaking. The truth is that we fear a lot of things - failure, judgment, suffering, losing a job, snakes! How would our lives be different if we were able to plow through our fears and live a life without limits?Nick Vujicic, a man born with no arms or legs, says that "Fear is a bigger disability than having no arms and no legs." This very inspiring young man is making a difference in the world by showing people that there are no limits to what one can accomplish and how one can live. Physical disabilities have nothing to do with the person you are inside.
One person deeply impacted by Nick is Squidoo writer, CCGal, and her page on Nick Vujicic should be required weekly reading or anytime you are feeling limited. She makes it clear that she has been deeply touched by Nick's life, saying "Nick is my touch-stone, my reminder that in my darkest hours of pain and suffering, I have the strength to go on."
When Nick was young, he prayed to have arms and legs and often wondered what kind of God would allow this to happen to him. Luckily, he had a very wise mother who encouraged him to engage people who stared at him. He found that when he did, they often forgot his disabilities and saw the human being inside.
Nick is now a sought after motivational speaker and has a book called Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life and a DVD called Life Without Limbs: From No Limbs To No Limits. CCGal has included several videos of Nick that show the amazing human being he is and why people are so inspired by him.
Kim, this is a most excellent review. And Janelle's lens is fantastic. She introduced me to the amazing Nick a while back. Have been in awe ever since.
ReplyDeleteWow, Kim. Fantastic review and a wonderful reminder to all that life is what we make it. I really enjoyed Janelle's lens.
ReplyDeleteSomeone like Nick is a "from the heart" motivator isn't he? What an excellent review!
