Inspirational LessonsIf you imagine your life without your

limbs, you may feel incredibly

hopeless., however, has made his

disability an opportunity. Nick was

born without limbs. Throughout his life

his loving parents have motivated him

and taught him how to overcome his

obstacles.

When Nick was younger he was bullied

at school. At only 10 years old he

decided he wanted to end his life and

tried to drown himself in the bath. He

decided, however, that it would be

more of a disappointment to his loved

ones that he had given up than the fact

that he was “disabled”.

Nick now firmly believes that your greatest

disability is your mind. You have to learn, as

Vujicic says, to transform walls into doors.

The most important tool in success is

maintaining a positive mind; regardless of

the situation.

Although Vujucic studied Accounting and Financial Planning, he

now focuses on Motivational Speaking. Along with the help of a

coach, Nick Vujucic has become famous for his uplifting inspiring

speeches.

Having no limbs was not the only obstacle Nick faced; he also

had to overcome severe depression and bullying. As a result of

these struggles he has become a leader in the fight against

bullying in schools and is, at the same time, teaching young

people how to become leaders themselves. Nick believes that

by enabling others to become leaders he is enabling them to use

their own obstacles as opportunities. He has done so by holding

a camp to teach students how to overcome bullying and become

leaders. The purpose of the camp was also to show that unity is

important in overcoming obstacles. In every sphere there are

people with the same obstacles; and the same feelings towards

them – by uniting and sharing ideas it enables you to further

yourself in your battle.

It is important to consider that everyone has the ability to be a leader. It is also important to know that it is

possible to change obstacles into opportunities; no matter how big they are. Vujicic has proven himself in all

aspects of his life; he has made a difference in many lives (through his speeches), he is happily married, well-

educated; and has recently become a father. He truly is an inspiration.

“If I fail, I try again, and again, and again. If YOU fail, are you

going to try again? The human spirit can handle much worse

than we realize. It matters HOW you are going to FINISH.

Are you going to finish strong?”

“It's a lie to think you're not good enough. It's a lie to think

you're not worth anything.”

“The challenges in our lives are there to STRENGTHEN our

CONVICTIONS. They are NOT there to run us over.”

“I encourage you to accept that you may not be able to see

a path right now, but that doesn't mean it's not there.”

“If I fail, I try again, and again, and again”

“...God's love is so real that He created you to prove it.”

“... for every disability you have, you are blessed with more

than enough abilities to overcome your challenges.”

“Sometimes you may feel like you

are just about to realize your goal

only to fall short. That is no reason

to quit. Defeat happens only to

those who refuse to try again.”

“Have you ever felt trapped in

circumstances, then discovered

that the only trap was your own

lack of vision, lack of courage, or

failure to see that you had better

options?”

“We easily become trapped in the

'someday' mentality. Someday I'll have all the money I need to enjoy life. Someday I'll be able to spent more

time with my family. Someday I'll have time to relax and do what i love doing.”

“Risk, then, is not just part of life. It is life. The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where

life takes place. It's the high-anxiety zone, but it's also where you discover who you are.”
