If You Can't Get a Miracle, BecomeOne
One of my most popular videos on YouTube shows footage of me skateboarding, surfing, playing music, hitting a golf ball, falling down, getting up, speaking to audiences, and best of all, receiving hugs from all sorts of great people.
All in all, those are pretty ordinary activities that just about anybody can do, right? So why do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are drawn to watch it because despite my physical limitations, I'm living as though I have no limits.
People often expect someone with a severe disability to be inactive, maybe even angry and withdrawn I like to surprise them by showing that I lead a very adventurous And fulfilling existence.
Among the hundreds of comments on that video, here's one typical remark: "Seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why the hell I feel sorry for myself sometimes . . . or feel that I'm not attractive enough, or funny enough, or WHATEVER. How can I even think thoughts like that when this guy is living-without limbs and still being .HAPPY!?”
I'm often asked that very question: "Nick, how can you be so happy" You may bedealing with your own challenges, so I'll give you the quick answer up front:
I found happiness when I realized that as imperfect as I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic. I am God's creation, designed according to His plan for me. That's not to say that there isn't room for improvement. I'm always trying to be better so I can better serve Him and the world! -
1 do believe my life has no limits. I want you to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we begin our journey together, please take a moment to think about any limitations you've placed on your life or that you've allowed others to place on it. Now think about what it would be like to befree of those limitations. What would your life be if anything-were possible?
I'm officially disabled but I'm truly enabled because of my lack of limbs. My unique challenges have opened up unique opportunitiesto reach so many in need. Just imagine what is possible for you!
Too often we tell ourselves we aren't smart enough or attractive enough or talented enough to pursue our dreams. We buy into whatothers sayabout us, or we put restrictions on ourselves. What's worse is that when you consider yourself unworthy, you are putting limits on how Godcan work through you!
When you give up on your dreams, you put God in a box. After all, you are His creation. He made you for a purpose. Therefore your life cannot be limited any more than God's love can be contained.
I have a choice. You have a choice. We can choose to dwell on disappointments and shortcomings. We can choose to be better,angry, or sad. Or when faced with hard times and hurtful people,we can choose to learn from the experience and move forward,taking responsibility for our own happiness.
As God's child, you are beautiful and precious, worth more than all the diamonds in the world. You and I are perfectly suited to be who we were meant to be! Even still, it should always be our goal to become an even better person and stretch our boudaries by dreamingbig. Adjustments are necessary along the way because life isn'talways rosy, but it is always worth living. I'm here to tell you thatno matter what your circumstances may be, as long as you are breathing, you have a contribution to make.

如果你沒辦法得到奇蹟，就創造一個吧！
在YouTube上，其中我最有名的一部影片，是播放著我如何滑滑板、潛水、聽音樂、打高爾夫球、跌倒再爬起來、向觀眾演講，接受各式各樣很棒的人的擁抱！
整體來說，這些都相當平凡，任何人都可以做得到的活動，不是嗎？那你們認為，這憑什麼可以得到「百萬」觀賞人次？我的結論是，觀眾之所以會被我的影片吸引，在於雖然身體上有所限制，但我卻可以活得隨心所欲。
人們總是認為肢體殘障者必定行動不便，甚至易怒或沉默寡言。而我就是喜歡用展現自己充滿冒險又富有成就感的人生，使他們驚豔！
伴隨著影片，數以百計的評論中，其中最典型的回覆是「看到這樣一個人能活得如此開心，我真搞不懂，為什麼以前會不時自怨自艾，覺得自己不夠好，像不夠有吸引力、不夠有趣或其他亂七八糟的想法。當一個沒有手腳的傢伙，能活得如此開心時，我怎能還有如此無聊的想法……？」
我總是問著一個問題「尼克，你怎麼能這麼開心？」你們可能也正面臨著屬於各自的困境，所以在這裡，我可以提供給你們我的訣竅。
我發現快樂，是當我接受自己的不完美時，那個瞬間，我便成了完美的尼克。上帝創造了我，一定有他的理由。不要總說沒有進步的空間，我總是不斷嘗試變得更好，然後可以服侍上帝和世界。
我確信沒有任何事能限制住我的人生，而我希望你們也是這麼認為，不管現在你可能面對的難題是什麼。當我們一起開始這趟旅程，請暫緩一刻，試著去思考一下，你在自己或別人在你生命中加上的限制有哪些？現在，試著想像一下，如果沒有了那些限制，你會變得如何？如果什麼都是可能的，你的人生又會變得怎麼樣？
我是真的被定義為「殘障」且「無行為能力者」，因為我沒有四肢。這樣獨一無二的挑戰，正提供給我一個獨一無二的機會，要去想辦法達成那些許多日常生活中的必需。就想想，對你而言什麼是輕鬆易達成的事務就好。
我們太常告訴自己，我不夠聰明、不夠有吸引力或不夠有能力，去追尋自己的夢想。我們照單全收，所有別人對我們的想法，或設置太多限制給自己。最糟的是，當你認為自己不值得擁有一切時，也等於限制了上帝將要在你身上施展的一切奇蹟！
當你放棄夢想時，等同將上帝置於暗無天日的盒子中。大家都是上帝的獨特創作，他創造眾人都是有目的的。因此在上帝無盡的愛下，你的生命不該被限制住。
我有選擇，你們也有。我們可以選擇自暴自棄或悲傷不已；也可以選擇在面對艱難的困境和心懷惡意的人們時，學習如何在其中獲取經驗與往前邁進，為自己的快樂負起責任。
身為上帝的兒女，你們都是美麗和珍貴的，比世上所有的鑽石還珍貴。我們都是世界無敵超級適合，成為我們本來應該成為的人！我們的目標，是努力成為一個更好的人，並讓自己可以大大的作夢，沒有界限。調適是必要的，因為人生不總是一帆風順，但一定是值得我們活下去的。我在這裡告訴你們，不管你面臨到的困境是什麼，只要你還活著，就可以努力去改變。
