What if you had no arms or legs?

If your mother was so shocked at your birth that she could not hold you. Would you say there were some obstacles to overcome?

Nick Vujici was born without arms or legs. He has a “chicken drumstick” toe as he calls it. It is toes on one side of his torso. Nothing else. When you see him for the first time it’s a shock. No arms or legs.

“You can’t even stand without risking to fall.”
Nick Vujicic, Life Without Limits

To say he faced extreme obstacles in life is an understatement. Think “holding your fork to put food in your mouth”. Only problem is you don’t have arms, hands or fingers.

He was bullied at school because of his disability. He recalls that at some stage in his early life he had feelings of helplessness and isolation.

These feelings led him to attempt suicide.

How did he make it in life?

Through preseverance, determination and his faith he started to overcome challenges. He turned obstacles into opportunities. Stumbling stones into stepping stones.
