A Life Without Limits: A World Champion's Journey

Product Information

Amid streets lined with garbage piles, pig pens, and stinking trash, you would expect people to be overcome with despair, yet I found it to be quite the opposite on a visit in 2009. He rushed in to tell my mother before she saw me, but to his dismay he found her lying in bed, crying.

Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic overcame his disabilities to live an independent, rich, fulfilling, and ridiculously good life while serving as a role model for anyone seeking true happiness. It just proved to me again that happiness can come to us under any circumstance if we put our total trust in God. This was one of the worst as far as the environment, but it was also one of the most heart-warming in spirit. Our society bombarded us with messages that we need to have a specific look, drive a particular car, and maintain an individual lifestyle to be loved, appreciated, or considered successful.

I gave thanks that their faith lifted them above their circumstances as I told them how Jesus had changed my life too. Suffering is universal and often unbelievably cruel, but even in the worst of slums and after the most horrible tragedies, I have been heartened to see people not only surviving but thriving.

Even so, when my mum told me that she didn’t want to hold me after I was born, it was hard to take, to say the least. As the seconds ticked by and they were still not bringing the baby for her to see, she sensed even more that something was wrong. Nick shares how his faith in God has been his major source of strength, and he explains that once he found a sense of purpose-inspiring others to better their lives and the world around them--he found the confidence to build a rewarding and productive life without limits. Nick's book offers a practical framework for fulfilling your destiny by building trust in others, developing supportive relationships, and gaining strength for the journey.

After his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability when he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group and later founded his non-profit organisation, Life Without Limbs. Also, as someone who doesn't follow any religion or believe in God (though not strictly an atheist either), this book turned me off a bit. Seems to have the 2 most important commandments (Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and Love your neighbour as you love yourself) running through it like a stick of Brighton Rock.

New technologies are laying fertile soil for the cultivation of ideas, some of which will grow to displace even our most entrenched industry sectors. Now an internationally successful motivational speaker, Nick eagerly spreads his message: the most important goal is to find your lifes purpose and to never give up, despite whatever difficulties or seemingly impossible odds stand in your way. Nick teaches us through his own experiences that it's possible to face challenges head on and emerge stronger on the other side. Life is not always as we THINK or WISH that it would be, but even though sometimes we are sick, with no money or having any other kind of problem, we need to focus in do our best and become thankful to be alive. My theory is that people are drawn to watch it because despite my physical limitations, I’m living as though I have no limits.

He presents motivational speeches worldwide which focus on living with disabilities and finding hope and meaning in life. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.
