Hello Friends, One of those days where I get inspired by a Ted Talk.... I dream and just believe that all of the craziness in life can change... We all need a good talk or a good book or a good friend to inspire us to be the best we can be... That's why today, I am sharing 2 of my favorite Ted Talks...
I hope you enjoy them like I did and I pray that no matter what life throws at you, you remember that God is there, leading you and loving you. Look to Him- Our greatest inspiration.
Didn’t sleep much last night but I guess it was worth it ‘cos
between meditating and seeing tweets on the Golden Globe, one tweet that stood
out for me was the one by my ‘super-duper-cute-angelic-amazing-treasure’
cousin, Kelechi, on watching Oprah Life class showing Pastor Rick Warren and
Nick Vujicic.
Ok, was too lazy to watch it but decided to check it during lunch break at work and Now, I feel so inspired (A freak for all things Inspirational). Glad I watched it. Blessing GOD for gifting
us with Nick Vujicic and thought I wrote about him here on bloggie .^-^.
Oprah was right when she said ‘If you got a complaint on
your tongue, Shut your mouth and keep watching’. (Watch the video below and be inspired by one of the blessed people to ever exists and HE HAS NO ARMS AND LEGS.....)
“I have the choice to be angry at God for what i don't have, or
The eldest child of his family, Nick Vujicic
was born in Brisbane, Australia. He
was limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, as well as legs. Where legs
are located, he has a small foot with two toes. Initially, his parents were
devastated, though Vujicic was otherwise healthy.
Originally prohibited by Victoria state law from
attending a mainstream school because of his physical disability, even though he was not mentally impaired, Vujicic became one of
the first disabled students integrated into a mainstream school once the laws
changed.
Being bullied at school for his limbless
disability, Vujicic grew depressed and by the age of eight, contemplated
suicide. At age ten he tried to drown himself, but did not go
through with it out of love for his parents. After praying to grow arms and
legs, Vujicic eventually realised that his accomplishments could inspire others
and became grateful for his life. A key turning point came when his mother
showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability.
Vujicic realized he wasn't unique in his struggles and began to embrace his.
He began to
master the daily tasks of life. He learned to write using the two toes on his
left foot with a special grip that slid onto his big toe. He learned to use a
computer and type using the "heel and toe" method. He learned to
throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, get a glass of water, comb his hair,
brush his teeth, answer the phone and shave.
In Year 7 he was elected captain of his school and
worked with the student council on fundraising events for local charities and
disability campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his
prayer group, and eventually started his non-profit organization, Life Without
Limbs.
Vujicic wrote that he keeps a pair of shoes in his
closet, due to his belief in miracles.
In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the Young
Australian of the Year Award.
Vujicic currently lives in Los Angeles, California,
USA. On 12 February 2012, he married his fiancée, Kanae Miyahara. In
August 2012, it was revealed that Kanae and Nick are expecting their first
child. He has two siblings, Michelle Vujicic and Aaron Vujicic.

The next time you are sad, you've lost hope, and going through some pity-party, or overwhelmed, remember this amazing guy and the one who loves us, Jehovah :)
Also, check out his website, life without limbs, for more inspirational/ God filled word.
I don't how life is without arms and legs but it's nice too see someone without those enjoying the best of life and spreading HOPE and GOD :)
It's nice to see someone without all of life's 'necessities' still loving and living and serving us and GOD and it makes me wonder, Why the craziness in the world?
