Nick Vujicic is a world-famous motivational speaker and best-selling author, whose story has inspired millions worldwide.
Nick was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, without arms and legs. Three sonograms failed to reveal complications. And yet, the Vujicic family was destined to cope with both the challenge and blessing of raising a son who refused to allow his physical condition to limit his lifestyle.
The early days were difficult. Throughout his childhood, Nick not only dealt with the typical challenges of school and adolescence, but he also struggled with depression and loneliness. Nick constantly wondered why he was different than all the other kids. He questioned the purpose of life, or if he even had a purpose. Nick even tried to commit suicide twice.
But Nick discovered through his faith that God must have held a greater purpose for him. From his faith sprung his strength and passion for life.
Nick decided to flip his disability on its head, and use it to his advantage. Nick started to travel the world at age 19, sharing his story with millions, sometimes in stadiums filled to capacity, speaking to a range of diverse groups such as students, teachers, young people, business professionals and church congregations of all sizes.
Today this dynamic young speaker has accomplished more than most people achieve in a lifetime. He’s an author, musician, actor, and his hobbies include fishing, painting and swimming.Nick has written four best-selling books, travelled the world and shown millions worldwide that whatever fears they may have, they can overcome them and create an amazing life.
