Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Meet Nick Vujicic.  He is 26 years old and was born in Melbourne, Australia with no arms and no legs.  You would think that having no limbs would make Nick depressed beyond belief, but he instead decided to take a different route: he became a motivational speaker.  He travels all over the world to share his story with others, and how he had a turning point in life.  He is a very religious man who puts his trust in God for everything, and knows that God has a plan for him.  See his bio here.  I found his story last night and I am still in awe of it.  I can't believe someone with no limbs can have such a positive outlook on life.  If you ever think you have it rough, remember Nick.  Remember that you still have 4 fully functioning limbs that not everyone is blessed to have.  If this man can learn to swim, surf, play golf, make breakfast, answer the phone, and pretty much anything he puts his mind to, who are we not to accomplish all that we desire in life?  



There are a ton of youtube videos about him, including a great DVD you can watch here.  But for this post, I will only include these two:

Wow, that's amazing. I can't imagine how that would even work, swimming and that kind of stuff that is.

I know! I can't believe he has figured out a way to do all of that stuff! Major props to him.
