From No Limbs to No Limits, motivational speaker Nick Vujicic has overcome disability and depression to encourage others to live life to the fullest. Born with Tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterised by the absence of both arms and legs, Vujicic struggled with depression and loneliness as a child. However, Nick says his faith in God and encouragement from friends and family helped him discover his purpose in life. Since the age of 19 Nick has been fulfilling his dream of being able to encourage others through motivational speaking and sharing his testimony about how God changed his life and gave him a future and hope.
“I found the purpose of my existence, and also the purpose of my circumstance. There’s a purpose for why you’re in the fire,” the Australia-born Vujicic writes on his website. Vujicic moved to California in 2007 and has traveled around the world, sharing his story with millions of people, speaking to a range of different groups such as students, teachers, youth, businessmen and women, entrepreneurs, and church congregations of all sizes. Given his inspirational story, you can’t help but smile when seeing the motivational speaker enjoying his honeymoon with the love of his life.
The best-selling author married Kanae Miyahara in California on February 10, the couple spent last week in Hawaii on their honeymoon.
The Daily Mail reports that Vujicic mastered life’s daily tasks as a teen, and went on to show that he can do everything that able bodied people can do-including writing, typing, playing drums, brushing his teeth and using a camera.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 9:58pmSeeing guys like Nick and Stephen Hawking overcoming their physical limitations is inspiring to me that I can also be successful, and at the same time it also makes me sick to know that my taxes are paying for some welfare slug to make babies so some politician can buy more votes.

Why would someone with your low self esteem wish something like this on another person you know nothing about? Because jealously and envy is the lowest form of human emotion. After all, this fellow with no arms or legs is successful, loves life, and has a beautiful wife… What do you have other than distain for someone who is happy and loves life?
“A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones (Proverbs 14:30).”
“Jealous people poison their own banquet and then eat it”

I wonder how he would fare when facing obama’s “DEATH PANEL” since they calculate how much you are worth based on “QUALITY ADJUSTED LIFE YEARS” remaining?
We need to remember to count our many blessings… especially as we focus on all the negative in the world. Take time to thank the Eternal Father for His Blessings.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 7:48pm@ Tom. I wonder how all of his medical bills were paid as he was growing up. I doubt he worked to pay for the insurance so why was he special? BECAUSE of some sort of social care net I suppose, which is absolutely a dem platform. Its the right who promote tossing granny off the cliff and saying we should gut social systems, then yell about made-up lefty run death panels. Fortunately that lie no longer floats in the real world, just here on the Blaze.

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 7:13amDid you ever stop and think maybe his FAMILY paid for his medical care? Perhaps they had fundraisers to pay for his medical care? Why does everyone assume that if you have a disability, you’re on the government teat? I have a friend who is perfectly capable of working, but chooses “disability” because she can work the system easier than working a job. All 4 of her kids have Blackberries, even the 12 year old, and she’s not married. Her son (3 girls) got a woman pregnant out of wedlock and there was never even a mention of marriage. He barely provides for the child financially and my friend watches her for free because it’s her grandchild. (As in don’t punish the children of children who make mistakes). My friend even had the gall to complain when they raised her subsidized rent because her son got a job. She complained because he was selfish and didn’t actually give any of the money to the bills, so it shouldn’t matter. If this guy is a motivational speaker, he’s doing more with his disability than the lady I know does with her ability.

Report Post »I too have heard this guy and was amazed….and what about his wife? She’s something to marry him. Yes, God bless them and yes, I believe in “big” miracles and have prayed for his “new limbs” as I’m sure many others, but either way, God has blessed him with this extraordinary faith, ministry, wife and who knows how much else & I think he has learned how to be “content” no matter what, like Paul in biblical times. But don’t be surprised at seeing humongous miracles like new limbs growing out, people coming back after death, etc., etc. if indeed, these are the traumatic “end times” bringing in the biggest “harvest” of souls in history – which many, many Christians believe.

I‘m not saying God can’t or does’t want to heal folks, just pointing out that perhaps Nick is as he should be already.

Posted on February 19, 2012 at 5:37pmThis guy rocks!!! Unfortunately I still see lots of kids openly mocking disabled people in public. I live in the western suburbs of Minneapolis, MN. It shocks the hell out of me to realize that in 2012, after all these social programs to educate our kids in public school, they still act like little a-holes. I raise my voice and chew them out until they either walk away or bow their heads and apologize to that disabled person. Forget the inner city hood kids. They mouth off back to me.

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 4:38amMy husband sees that, too, when he takes the developmentally disabled adults in his care into the community. Young people are so full of themselves and so cruel. Especially the teenagers. God allowed these people among us to learn compassion and service. To bring out the best in us, or the worst.
