Truly inspirational.

Next Time You Think Life is Hard...Think Again!....

My name is Nick Vujicic

and I was born without
limbs and doctors have
no medical explanation
for this birth 'defect'. As
you can imagine, I was
faced

with

many

challenges and obstacles.

Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time
to prepare themselves for it... The doctors were shocked and had no answers at
all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a
Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.

I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence

that these 'bad' things happen in our life.
I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen
to us in our life unless God has a good purpose for it all. I am now
twenty-three years old and have completed a Bachelor of
Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am
also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story
and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have
developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics
that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the
corporate sector.

I have a passion for reaching out to

youth and keep myself available for
whatever God wants me to do, and
wherever He leads, I follow.
Writing several best-selling books has
been one of my dreams and I hope to
finish writing my first by the end of the
year.

It will be called 'No Arms, No Legs, and No Worries!'

I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you
will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at
all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a 'box'. The
awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of
focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us
and we can't do anything without God

Once we make ourselves available for God's work,

guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

A simple and meaningful story

THE SEED
A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose A
successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or
his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young
executives in his company together. It is time for me to step down and choose the
next CEO, he said. I Have decided to choose one of you. The young executives
were shocked, but the boss continued. I am going To give each one of you a
seed today - a very special seed. I want you To plant the seed, water it, and come
back here one year from today with What you have grown from the seed I have
given you. I will then judge The plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be
the next CEO. One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others,
received A seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped
him get A pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Every day, he would
water it and watch to see if it had grown. After About three weeks, some of the
other executives began to talk about Their seeds and the plants that were
beginning to grow.. Jim kept Checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, Others were
talking about their plants, but Jim didnt have a plant and He felt like a failure. Six
months went by - still nothing in Jims pot. He just knew he had Killed his seed.
Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had Nothing. Jim didnt say
anything to his colleagues, however.. He just Kept watering and fertilizing the soil
- he so wanted the seed to grow. A year finally went by and all the young
executives of the company Brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim
told his wife that He wasnt going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be
honest About what happened. Jim felt sick at his stomach. It was going to be the
most embarrassing Moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took
his empty pot to the board room.. When Jim arrived, he was amazed At the
variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were Beautifulin all
shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor And many of his colleagues
laughed. A few felt sorry for him! When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room
and greeted his young Executives. Jim just tried to hide in the back. My, what
great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown, said the CEO. Today one of
you will be appointed the next CEO! All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the
back of the room with his Empty pot.

He ordered the financial director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He
thought, The CEO knows Im a failure! Maybe he Will have me fired! When
Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his Seed. Jim
told him the story. The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked
at Jim, and Then announced to the young executives, Here is your next Chief
Executive! His name is Jim! Jim couldnt believe it. Jim couldnt even grow his
seed. How could he Be the new CEO the others said? Then the CEO said,
One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a Seed. I told you to take
the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me Today. But I gave you all
boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not Possible for them to grow. All of you,
except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found
that the seed would not grow, you substituted another Seed for the one I gave
you. Jim was the only one with the Courage and Honesty to bring me a pot
with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one Who will be the new Chief
Executive!

If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.
If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment.
If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.

Ahead of him is a guy, nattily dressed, in dark sun glasses, a
loud

&

Priest of the so & so Temple for the last 40 years.

Lord Dharamraj consults his ledger & says to the Priest : Please

Name & goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe & a Wooden
staff
?

friend,

Lord

Dharamraj.

While you preached, people SLEPT ; but when he drove his taxi,
people PRAYED.
Moral of the story:
Its PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts.

What is Excellence ?
A gentleman was once visiting a temple under construction.
In the temple premises, he saw a sculptor making an idol of God.
Suddenly he saw, just a few meters away, another identical idol was lying.
Surprised he asked the sculptor, do you need two statutes of the same idol.
No said the sculptor. We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last
stage.
The gentleman examined the sculptor. No apparent damage was visible.
Where is the damage asked the gentleman.
There is a scratch on the nose of the idol.
Where are you going to keep the idol?
The sculptor replied that it will be installed on a pillar 20 feet high.
When the idol will be 20 feet away from the eyes of the beholder, who is going to
know that there is scratch on the nose?
The gentleman asked.
The sculptor looked at the gentleman, smiled and said,
The
God
knows
it
and
I
know
it
.
The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone
appreciates it or not.

Excellence is a drive from Inside not Outside

Confidence level
This is a story told by a man, they are the most frightening yet thought-provoking
experiences
of
his
life.
He had been on a long flight. The first warning of the approaching problems
came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten your seat belts.
Then, after a while, a calm voice said, We shall not be serving the beverages at
this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is
fastened.
As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers
were becoming apprehensive. Later, the voice of the announcer said, We are so
sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still
ahead of us.
And then the storm broke. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even
above the roar of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies and within
moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean.
One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped
as
if
it
were
about
to
crash.

The man confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him.
He said, As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the
passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying.
The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it
through the storm. And then, I suddenly saw a girl to whom the storm meant
nothing. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat and was
reading
a
book.
Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed
her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but
worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being buffeted by the
terrible storm, when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with
frightening severity, when all the adults were scared half to death, that
marvelous
child
was
completely
composed
and
unafraid.

The man could hardly believe his eyes. It was not surprising therefore, that
when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were
hurrying to disembark, he lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched
for
such
a
long
time.
Having commented about the storm and behavior of the plane, he asked why
she
had
not
been
afraid.
The

sweet

child

replied,

Sir, my Dad is the pilot and he is taking me home.

When you are sure of your self, your confidence level is steady and you
are never shaky...You do things calmly and successfully.

Are you confident of yourself???

CHILDHOOD
Have you ever wondered about the innocence of childhood? How beautiful
things were when we were kids. Looking at world with hope, optimism and
curiosity and not with cynicism. Making friends easily. Simplifying things. Life
was not at all complicated. So often, I have met people reminiscing about that
golden era amidst the quagmire of adult life. Well, I think its never too late
actually. We cant replicate those things. We cant go back to that period. But
yes, we can always learn from that stage of life. We can always revisit that
kindergarten atmosphere. We can still be simple, take great pleasures in small
things of life, making friends easily. We can still trust people. The choice is ours.

Life is a thing to be lived fully. As it has been said There are only two ways to
live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a
miracle. So one should always strive to fulfill ones capabilities. Lets enjoy this
poem and start believing your capabilities

Who I am is unimportant, dont look to heavens above

See what has been and what could be with just a little love
A world thats full of anger and hate, will eat itself away
A world which is loved, with a people that care, will see another day
My time with you is over and very soon Ill leave
You all must carry on this task, spread love and self-belief
For every heart you touch with love, a hundred more will shine
This world will become a true paradise until the end of time.
