Nick Vujicic

In 1982 Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs
No one believed he could ever amount to anything...
At birth Nick's lack of limbs came as a complete shock...
for both his parents and the doctors
My mum said, "Take him away - I don't want to see him."
They took me home, but it took three to four months for my mother to come to terms with it."
While growing up Nick struggled mentally, emotionally and physically
He learned to use his foot for writing and walking but still...
the other kids bullied him because of his unusual appearance
My parents said ignore them, but I didn't want to be special. I just wanted arms and legs too and to be like everyone else
When Nick was 10 years old he attempted suicide
"I felt I had no value, and I thought I would always be a burden to my parents and never get married"
His parents told him
You don't know what you can achieve until you try it
He took that advice to heart
he learned to swim and fish
...surf and snowboard
He plays golf
and plays the drums
Overcoming every obstacle he's faced with
When he was 30 he married the love of his life
Today they have 4 children
Proving to the world that you don't need limbs to follow your dreams
His life changed after meeting another boy with no arms or legs...
They shared experiences and Nick knew he could help him
That's when he realized his calling in life was to help others
He started motivational speaking when he was 19 years old
I have the choice to be angry at God for what I don't have, or be thankful for what I do have

For every disability you have you are blessed with more than enough abilities...
to overcome your challenges

If you can't get a miracle become one

Nick has also founded an international non-profit organization called life without limbs...
through which he campaigns against bullying

I wish many things were different in my life. But knowing I can be a miracle for someone else makes my life worth living.

No matter how you're born, you can achieve anything
