In my earlier posts about what I call magical thinking, I said magical thinkers have a sense of entitlement and believe whatever they want should be provided by someone or something outside themselves.
If we had been born without limbs, most of us would feel we should be cared for and supported by family, the government … somebody. Yet Nick Vujicic has turned his disability into a testimony. He travels the world sharing the Gospel. He relies on God for strength, but he takes care of himself and inspires others.
No magical thinking … but the magic of faith.
God made us to rely on each other, so it’s natural that we have the need to be supported by others.
I’ve not visited you in a while as I’ve been SO busy…I love the new header and all the white…white is so pleasing to the eye.
Looks like you are growing here on your blog…kudos!
Truly inspiring. I will have to think twice now everytime I think life is unfair. This young man is admirable.
With so many in this life worried about the little things that in turn end up being inconsequential this young man is an inspiration. After watching the video and contemplating what I had just seen with my own eyes whatever problems I perceived I may have had seemed much less worrisome. Through his strength all of us can find a little more strength within ourselves.
My God…My God! I’m speechless and inspired. I conclude…I have absolutely nothing to complain about!
Yeah … kinda puts our mundane everyday little problems into perspective, doesn’t it, Edith?
Wow nice video, very impressive..
OMG! thats a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing this.
This guy is really inspiring , Thanks for sharing the video
Wow. I am so humbled by this. How many times have I complained today about things that aren’t going my way! I have been inspired by Nick’s testimony. thanks so much for sharing it.
Bravo Nick, what an inspiration you are to many that have the pleasure to meet you and listen to your talks.
cindy,
Nick is inspiring to those of us who have only seen him in a video as well.
I replied to all comments when they were left, but when I moved my blog, nested comments (included my replies) were lost.
What an inspirational person, the video is great so inspiring.
He is amazing and inspiring, William.
