not let this problem get the betterof you, and you will fight it to the
last drop of your lifes blood.

gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and
we will find grace to help us when we need it most.- Hebrews 4:14-16 (NLT)

Hi Friend,
My name is Nick Vujicic and I am thankful to have been
born 30 years ago with no arms and no legs. I wont
pretend my life is easy, but through the love of my
parents, loved ones, and faith in God, I haveovercome my adversity and my life is now filled with
joy and purpose.
I reside now in California with my wife, Kanae, and we
both love seeing peoples lives changed for the better
or touched in some way. It is my hope that your life is
positively impacted by my story.

I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and it
was a shock to my parents that I arrived without
limbs. There is no medical reason for it. My parents
did their very best to keep me in the mainstream
school system and give me every opportunity to live
to the fullest. I was blessed to have a brother and a
sister as my best friends too.
At age eight, I could not see a bright future ahead and I
became depressed. When I was ten years old, I
decided to end my life by drowning myself in a
bathtub. After a couple attempts, I realized that I did
not want to leave my loved ones with the burden
and guilt that would result from my suicide.

I could not do that to them.
I wasnt depressed my entire childhood, but I
did have ups and downs. At age thirteen I hurt
my foot, which I use for many things like
typing, writing and swimming. That injurymade me realize that I need to be more
thankful for my abilities and less focused on
my disabilities.

When I was fifteen years old, I sealed my faith in God
and from there it has been an amazing journey.
A janitor at my high school inspired me to start
speaking about my faith and overcoming adversity
when I was seventeen. I spoke only a dozen times to
very small groups over the next two years. Then Ifound myself in front of three hundred sophomore
(grade 10) students and I was very nervous.

She came hugged me in front of everyone, and
whispered in my ear, Thank you, thank you, thank
you. No one has ever told me that they loved me and
that I am beautiful the way I am.
Her gratitude inspired me to go across 44 countries and
speak 2,000 times. I realized that we all need loveand hope and that I was in a unique position to share
that with people around the world.

While majoring in both accounting and financial
planning at a university, I also worked on developing
my abilities as a speaker. I worked with a speaking
coach who helped to cultivate me as a presenter. He
especially worked on my body language as my hands
flew everywhere at first!
I spoke on motivational topics after creating the
company, attitude is altitude. I also launched a
non-profit ministry, life without limbs, tospread my messages of faith and hope around
the world.
