Something More - Nick Vujicic

In the fall of 2009, Nick Vujicic and Tyrone Wells discussed the possibility of working on a project together, unaware that their bond had been established long before the meeting ever took place. Tyrone had already written the captivating "More" lyrics. Nick had always dreamed of being part of music with meaning. Today, the song connects both men in an incredible way.

"More" mirrors Nick's personal testimony, depicts Tyrone's heartfelt plea, and conveys a strong message of hope. Nick Vujicic and Tyrone Wells have united, and launched THE SOMETHING MORE CAMPAIGN, combining the arts of music and film with the power of inspiration.


Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life

Life Without Limits is an inspiring book by an extraordinary man. Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic overcame his disability to live not just independently but a rich, fulfilling life, becoming a model for anyone seeking true happiness. Now an internationally successful motivational speaker, his central message is that the most important goal for anyone is to find their life’s purpose despite whatever difficulties or seemingly impossible odds stand in their way.

Nick tells the story of his physical disabilities and the emotional battle he endured trying to deal with them as a child, a teen, and a young adult. “For the longest, loneliest time, I wondered if there was anyone on earth like me, and whether there was any purpose to my life other than pain and humiliation.” He shares how his faith in God has been his central source of strength and explains that once he found his own sense of purpose—inspiring others to make their lives and the world better—he found the confidence to build a rewarding and productive life without limits.

Nick offers practical advice for realizing a life of fulfillment and happiness by building trust in others, developing supportive relationships, and gaining strength for the journey. He encourages the reader by showing how he learned to accept what he could not control and focus instead on what he could.

“I 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 be free of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?”

Nick Vujicic - No Hands No Limbs!

Nick VujicicNo hands? No limbs? Must have committed suicide. If not, must be preparing for it. Who can live without hands or legs? No one!!! He also tried to commit suicide at the age of 10 by drowning himself. He had lost all the hope of living. But God had some different plans for him. God wanted him to be an example for others who had lost hope and feel defeated. Nick Vujicic lived!



After school, Nick went on with further study and obtained a double Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning from Griffith University in Logan, Australia. By the age of 19, Nick started to fulfill his dream of being able to encourage other people and bring them the gospel of Jesus through motivational speaking and sharing his testimony about how God changed his life and gave him a future and a hope. “I found the purpose of my existence, and also the purpose of my circumstance. There’s a purpose for why you’re in the fire.” Nick wholeheartedly believes that there is a purpose in each of the struggles we each encounter in our lives, and that our attitude towards those struggles, along with our faith and trust in the Lord can be the keys to overcoming the challenges we face.   (Life without Limbs)


Nick Vujicic Skateboard
He began to master the daily tasks of life. He learned to write using the two toes on his left foot with a special grip that slid onto his big toe. He learned to use a computer and type using the "heel and toe" method. He learned to throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, get himself a glass of water, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone, use a skateboard and shave, etc. In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the "Young Australian of the Year" Award. He started his own non-profit organization Life Without Limbs – at age seventeen and presents motivational speeches worldwide, on life with a disability, hope, and finding meaning in life. (Wikipedia)

Nick loves living life, rather than ending it like some who feel lost and defeated. No one succeeds at the first attempt. We all fail. The important point is whether we try again or not. Never fear failure because it's bound to occur. Never fear or feel shame to try again. Learn from that failure and strengthen yourself. Don't make life bitter by complaining. Make life better by living it!
