The Man With No Limbs

 Imagine yourself without a feet or hands. Try to picture your life without the ability to walk, work with your hands, do your basic needs or even embrace those people whom you love. With all these disabilities, do you think you can still live a life without questioning its purpose? Meet Nicholas Vujicic, the man without arms and legs and let us try to know on how he manage to live a happy and meaningful life despite his physical condition.


 Nick was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. His family was both blesses to have a son like him and was challenged of raising a son who refused to allow his physical condition to limit his lifestyle.
Although Nick was born without arms and legs but still he is able to pursue and achieve the passion that he considered to be his mission for a lifetime- to touch and inspire everybody's life.

 During his early days, it cannot be denied that it was difficult for him to handle the situation that he had. Throughout his childhood, Nick not only dealt with the typical challenges that he experienced in school and even to the society. He struggled with depression and loneliness because of the bullies that he received from the people around him. Nick sometimes questioned himself why he was different among all the other kids? He even questioned the purpose of life and think if he even had a purpose to live?

Knowing how hard the condition that Nick was bringing but he was able to manage them and continue the life that he is living. According to Nick the victory over his struggles, was well as his strength and passion for life today, can be credited to his faith in God. His family, friends and loved ones helps to motivate and inspire him to go on with life. Nicholas Vujicic was now famous all over the world. Through his speaking engagement which started when he was still at the age of 19, he was able to travel around the world sharing his story to different kinds of people; it may be rich or poor, student or professionals.

Today, he is not only known to be a dynamic young evangelist but he is known to be a man who accomplish
more than most people achieve in a lifetime. Nick is now an author, musician and actor.
Who would have thought that the man with no arms and legs would be able to paint, swim and do fishing?



He is the president of the International non-profit ministry, Life without Limbs, which was established in 2005. "If God can use a man without arms and legs to be his hands and feet, then He will certainly use a willing heart!" This is one of the messages that Nick stated which made every listener believe that God really has a plan for us and that plan is a part of our mission.
 Nick is now a happy married man and a father.
 And what struck me most is when he said the lone " I may not be able to hold my wife's hand-but I will be able to hold her heart". - Nick Vujicic-
