You see, many people blame their circumstances (e.g. Bad luck, no support, no money, no opportunities) for making them feel bad and for them not achieving the results they want.
Yet, we know that we are the sole creator of our thoughts, feelings, actions and results!
The difference lies in how successful people RESPOND to circumstancesand events in their lives.
It is the way we choose to respond to these events that shape ourfeelings, actions and results.
Now, imagine if you were born without your arms and legs? Would you blame God, choose to focus on your limitations and live alife of depression?
OR would you choose to live as an inspiration to others in spite ofyour handicaps?
Well, let me introduce you to Nick Vujicic of Melbourne, Australia. Nick was born with no arms and no legs. On the day of his birth, his dad left the room to throw up and his mother was in tears. As a child, he was teased and bullied by his friends in school.
Instead of CHOOSING to focus on his limitations, what he could not do and making himself feel useless and depressed, he instead chose to focus on what he HAD…his inner strength, his mind and his voice. Instead of blaming God, he chose to create a powerful meaning to his circumstances.
He chose to believe that being born this way happened for a purpose. God was using him as a model to inspiration and heal the world. The meaning we choose to give to our life’s experiences is the meaning we create. We can choose to see our adversities as ‘Problems or opportunities’ as ‘punishments or blessings’.
He chose to live not just an ordinary and normal life, but to live an extraordinary one. He went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. He is also a motivational speaker and has thus far spoken to over a MILLION People in Indonesia, Sweden, USA, Africa, etc…
His current goals are to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for himself to drive and to be interviewed and share his story on the ” Oprah Winfrey Show “! Writing several best-selling books has been one of his dreams and the title of his upcoming book will be called “No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!”
