No Limbs, No Limits( Something i Like)

He was born without limbs but not without hope.Nick Vujicic is the Director of “Life without Limbs”and acts as a motivational speaker inspiring millions of physically disabled persons. Nick has a positive approach to life, is outgoing and friendly, with a happy, cheerful personality. He has a smile that makes anyone feel comforted and at ease. But life hasn’t been easy for him.Born to a devout Christian family in Melbourne, Australia on 4th December 1982, Nick was a congenital amputee, missing both arms at shoulder level and had one small foot with two toes.His parents, both lifelong Christians, had eagerly anticipated the birth of Nick, their first child. But when he arrived, all his mother could say was, “Please, take him away!”Nick, although generally healthy, had neither arms nor legs.There was no medical explanation as to why this should have happened, and they had no idea it was going to, so when his devastated parents were presented with a baby with such disabilities, it tested their faith.But parents’ love being what it is, Nick was soon accepted, and became as much-loved as any family member, even though he required almost 24-hour care as he grew through infancy.Nick’s life had many hardships, more so at his school. On being bullied by others in school he got extremely depressed, almost on the verge of attempting suicide before he began to recognize that his feats could inspire many.But having endured that, around age 10 and with thoughts of his own, he began an even more difficult period. He just couldn’t see any point in living. He realised he was a burden to his parents and family. “I got so angry because I was made like this,” he admits. “I couldn’t see a future or hope for one until a few years on when I read the words of Jeremiah.”He quotes them: “‘I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end’ [Jeremiah 29:11, KJV].It’s Nick’s belief that we suffer only so God can strengthen us—drawing us closer to Him and growing with Him—if we seek Him. Again, he quotes the words of Jeremiah: “‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found . . . saith the Lord’ [Jeremiah 29:12-14].”Around that time, after many prayers “talking” to God, he began to realise God had a life plan for him.“Instead of questioning God—‘Why me?’—I found purpose in God, and today there’s no greater satisfaction than being able to glorify Him, knowing that He is with me,” he says.“I do remember, however, reading in the Bible that God created man in His image. I thought, Right! It was a little confusing then, because if God loved me and created me in His image, why would he make me like this?” With a love of God and acceptance of his situation, Nick was able to achieve an inner peace. He realised there was a lot he couldn’t do, and nothing that couldn’t be overcome with God’s help, if that was in God’s plan for his life.God won’t let anything happen to you unless He has a good purpose for it,” says Nick. “So when we think that God doesn’t answer our prayers, He may just be strengthening our hearts—preparing our hearts for something more—teaching us. We must trust in God,” he says, turning again to the wisdom of Proverbs, this time quoting the Living Bible: “‘Don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success,’ Proverbs 3:5, 6.” He learned to write using the two toes, and later on learned to operate computer and type using the “heel and toe” method. With the turn of events, at seventeen, Nick offered speeches to his prayer group and in due course started his non-profit organization, “Life Without Limbs.”
