A truly inspirational person... Nick Vujicic!

I live by the motto that respect is earned, not given… but there are exceptions and this guy, who was born without any arms or legs is truly inspirational to me.

What would you do without arms or legs?

Without getting too graphic, most people have absolutely no clue, me included, regarding how they would handle themselves if they where given a major disability. These decisions hit able-body people on a daily basis whether from a car accident or some other incidents in their life. Losing an arm is HUGE, loosing both is something ENORMOUS and loosing all your limbs, well… suicide I am sure would creep into the mind of any sane person.

Is life possible without limbs?

I believe anything is possible if you put your mind to it but when I saw this, I was incredibly impressed!

Who is this guy?

His name is Nick Vujicic, believe it or not, he is an inspirational speaker! If you ever feel your life is tough, imagine living your entire life as Nick… I can’t help but be impressed by this guy BIG TIME! Regardless of my views on religion, he has done more with his life than most able-bodied people have done with theirs and if religion has helped give him purpose in life… all the better for him!

What has Nick done?

Other than living with, what by any definition, is a major disability, he built a foundation “Life without Limbs” for others who are missing limbs! He is an extreme example of making the best out of a very bad situation. He has also traveled around the world trying to inspire both able and disabled people alike that life is possible no matter the circumstances thrusted upon you. Considering he is but 25 at this time and all the enormous struggles he surely experienced in life, the fact that he is succeeding is amazing to me!

The Bottom Line

“NEVER, EVER GIVE UP!” as said wonderfully by Nick Vujicic
