Nick VujicicNo worries is an expression that has become rather common in the “down under” countries of Australia and New Zealand.

But in one Aussie man’s life, this expression has taken on even more meaning. Nick Vujicic is a young man with a BIG testimony.

Today I was challenged once again with the testimony of Nick’s life when a friend from Acapulco posted one of his videos in Facebook.

Nick’s attitude to life demonstrates a very powerful truth:

Life can be good or bad, not because of anything that may have happened to you in life,
but because of what you do with what happens to you.
Nick’s life theme is “No limbs, no limits, no worries”.

Nick’s choice in the face of his life’s challenge is to overcome and be happy. As you watch the videos of his life’s story, you will see that he has taken on the challenge of becoming totally independent and he is succeeding.

Little tasks that you and I do without thinking such as cleaning our teeth or shaving (for the guys), are not simple tasks for Nick, but he has found a way!

He also dives, and swims, he plays golf, he surfs, he kicks a soccer ball!
He loves live and enjoys it to the full.

Nick leads a full, happy and VERY productive life because he has CHOSEN to. He has decided that nothing will stop him, and his whole life demonstrates this!

He has decided to live a life of no limits and no worries.

What choices do you make when faced with obstacles, adversity and life’s supposed “unfair treatments”?

Watch the following videos, be inspired and be challenged!

03 Jun 2010 Conquering Is Simply A Decision

Decisions in the shopping mallCould it be that triumphing over difficult situations is as simple as making a decision? Conquering is simply a decision sounds a little too simple no?

Not when your decision is real enough to be followed by action! You will act to every challenge in life in one of two ways depending on how you DECIDE to act.

In the last article we considered two opposing reactions to life’s challenges and difficulties. What were those two reactions?

1. Coping (or adjusting).
2. Conquering (or overcoming).

These are two OPPOSITE reactions (one is negative, and the other is positive), yet they have ONE THING in common.

What is the one thing these two reactions have in common?

They both are the result of a decision.

When you face a challenging situation:

  • You decide to conquer it and consequently you are willing to pay the price of the battle.
    Result: You will travel the path of faith, victory and stronger faith! — or
  • You decide to accept it, adjust to it and put up with it.
    Result: You will travel the path of doubt, fear and defeat.

John Di Lemme is often heard saying:

Your daily decisions predict your future!
  • It is never the things that happen to you that change your life – it is what you do with the these things that will change your life. You decide how you deal with life’s situations.
  • It is never someone else’s fault that you don’t reach your dreams – it is your fault if you listen to that person and believe their negative comments. You decide who you listen to and believe.
  • It is never because of your past that you may not achieve your dreams, it is because of the decisions you make EACH DAY which are creating the path for your future.


Let’s sum up what we are learning today:
Are you coping with a situation or in the process of conquering it? The decision is yours.
