28 year old Australian-born Nick Vujicic (pronounce Vooy-cheech) was born without limbs. His mother was so appauled at his birth that she told the nurses to take him away. Nick grew up feeling like he would never amount to anything. He thought of himself as a burden to his family. He wanted to end his life at the age of 10. Who knew that Nick would one day end up inspiring the lives of countless people throughout the planet.
Nick strongly believes that there is a purpose in each of the struggles we encounter in our lives, and that our attitude towards those struggles can be the key to overcoming the challenges we face. He is now the President of an international non-profit organization; Life Without Limbs, and also has his own motivational speaking company; Attitude Is Altitude. Since his first speaking engagement back when he was 19, Nick has traveled around the world, sharing his story with millions of people.
“If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!” - Nick Vujicic
