‘When You Have the Power of Faith in Action, Nothing Can Hold You Back’


Posted by John Lee

The above quote is taken from the video you can access through the link below and was spoken by an incredible young man during an episode of ‘Oprah’s Lifeclass’.

He was born without arms and legs, and was harassed and tormented to such an extent during his schooldays that he attempted suicide at the tender age of just 10 years old.

After years of misery and loneliness, he took control of his life and has since inspired people young and old throughout the world. His name is Nick Vujicic.

You may already be aware of this extraordinary person and might have previously viewed his YouTube videos. But every time I see a new recording, I’m inspired all over again.

So I make no apologies for posting this one. It’s particularly apt for anyone who’s struggling with life’s ups and downs right now, and is wondering what to do next.

To quote Nick again from this video: “Even the worst part of your life can come together for the good.” Take a look…

The Most Inspiring Video You'll Ever See


By John Lee

Ask most people who they find truly inspiring and most will name a favourite sports person, actor, singer or some other celebrity.

And while their achievements are no doubt admirable and praiseworthy, they generally pale into insignificance when compared to those of someone like Nick Vujicic.

If you’ve never heard of Nick, he’s an Australian preacher and motivational speaker, whose family originates from Serbia.

Thanks to a rare disorder known as tetra-amelia syndrome, he was also born with no limbs. But that hasn’t stopped Nick leading a full and inspiring life.

Far from it.

In fact, his resilience in the face of overwhelming odds is an object lesson to anyone who has ever felt that life/the world/society/their background – fill in the blank – has dealt them a bad hand.

That’s just about all of us, from time to time, if we’re honest.

Now, you might be telling yourself, “OK, but he was born that way, so he’s never known any different”.

But imagine seeing others enjoy all the wonderful experiences there are in the world and realizing that – in many cases – you can never do the same.

So click on the link below and watch Nick in action. Then take a few minutes to really appreciate the good things you have in your life – no matter how tough it might be right now.
