 No Arms, No Limbs, No Worries

I am sitting down watching TV. Just stressed and bored. When I stop at this channel. I see this man  just standing in the middle of the stage smiling . He is good looking has light brown hair ,and beautiful green eyes ,and  has no arms and no legs.

He begins to talk “My name is Nick Vujicic I was born with no arms and no legs. People usually freak out when they see me for the first time . I love kids reactions. I go in the store, and they are just starring at me, and all the kids come up to me saying “What happened!” and I say “cigarettes!” Its amazing  of how this guy has such a good sense of humor. He begins to show all the cool tricks he can do, like how he answers the phone and kicks a ball. He tells all his funny stories to the audience (which are high school kids) , and then he begins to get personal.

“I tell you when I was eight years old I sort of summed up my life. I tell myself I’m never going to get married I’m not going to have a job, im not going to have a life with purpose. But I realize I may not have hands to hold my wife’s hand but when the time comes I’ll be able to hold her heart, and I don’t need hands to hold her heart.”

He finishes by demonstrating a story. He starts to slowly lean forward while whistling. He lightly falls. He continues talking “ So what do you do when you fall down? Everybody knows to get back up because if im not walking im not going to get anywhere. There are times in life when you fall down and you feel like you don’t have the strength to get back up. finish, and your going to finish strong. He slowly starts to push himself up with his head.

 Im sitting there with tears in my eyes amazed at what im hearing and seeing. Il be going through life thinking man life sucks and here I am seeing a man with no arms and legs having a better perspective towards life than me. His motivational speech gave me a different belief . From now on instead of wishing for something that I don’t have im going to appreciate what I do have and live my life to the fullest.
