All of us are faced with various obstacles and struggles throughout the course of our life and what ultimately matters is how we cope with them. The desire and strength to overcome our difficulties is the best way to build up a strong and powerful character.
The amazing Life Without Limits book by Nick Vujicic touches on different important topics. It tells the inspirational story of Nick who was born without limbs in his body. While reading the book I realized that anything can be achieved when you have a strong character and the desire to lead a fulfilled and independent life.
Nick Vujicic was born on December 4, 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. He was a healthy baby but had a very rare condition called autosomal recessive tetra-amelia. The babies born with this condition have no limbs except feet with only two toes. Nick had a difficult childhood and he and his family struggled to cope with all the obstacles that came with his rare condition.
Even thought there was nothing wrong with his IG, Nick wasn't allowed to go to a normal school. As a child Nick always wondered why he was different form other kids. When he was 10 years old he was going through a very difficult period. He saw no purpose in his life and wanted to drown himself. But, the thought of his parents and how much they would suffer stopped him and from that moment on he decided not to let his disability destroy his life.
His determination helped him learn to use his feet to write, play and type and he was a head boy in 'Runcorn State High School' where he completed his secondary education. During that period he was also involved in the humanitarian work of the student council. When he was a teenager he began to deliver inspirational speeches and during his amazing career he has visited over 60 countries inspiring millions of people around the world.
His amazing Life Without Limits book was published in 2010 and immediately became very popular. It is an inspirational story about the emotional battle of Nick and how he was able to overcome all the obstacles that prevented him to lead a normal life. Accepting his situation certainly wasn't easy but he ultimately found the courage to change his destiny and lead a life filled with endless possibilities. With this wonderful book Nick shares his journey and sends out a positive message which teaches us that everything happens for a reason and each and every one of us has an important purpose and mission in life.
