Take a Peep, Peeps!

  

"You keep on concentrating on the things that you wish you had or the things that you didn't have and you sort of forget what you do have." - Nick Vujicic

Not only is Nick Vujicic a motivational speaker, he is a motivational speaker without limbs.  Born without arms and legs, Nick was the victim of bullying for most of his childhood. He became extremely depressed and at the age of 10, he contemplated suicide.  The turning point in his life came when his mom showed him a newspaper article about a man coping with a severe disability.  Nick realized that he was not the only one struggling with major trials and at the age of 17, he started to give talks in prayer groups and later founded the non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.

If you haven't seen this video, please watch!  I've watched it several times and have also showed it to my students.  Sometimes, the most triggering type of inspiration comes from that of a stranger.  God bless, everyone!
