IF YOU CAN'T GET A MIRACLE, BECOME ONE

One of my most popular videos on YouTube shows footage of me skateboarding, surfing, playing music, hitting a golf ball, falling down, getting up, speaking to audiences, and best of all, receiving hugs from all sorts of great people.

All in all, those are pretty ordinary activities that just about anybody can do right? So why do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are drawn to watch it because despite my physical limitations, I'm living as though I have no limits.

People often expects someone with a severe disability to be inactive, may be even angry and withdrawn. I like to surprise them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fulfilling existence.

Among the hundreds of comments on that video, here's one typical remark: "Seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why the hell I feel sorry for myself sometimes... or feel that I'm not attractive enough, or WHATEVER. How can I even think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being HAPPY!?"

Culled from Nick Vujicic's Book, "Life Without Limits,"

Nick Vujicic has no arms or legs. He said he was praying for a miracle, but God ignored it and made him a miracle instead. He is now a motivational speaker and role model to people all around the world. Paraphrasing him he says: "God made your trials and challenges as advantage to launch into your destiny."
