Your Life Without Limits: Living Above Your Circumstances (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Life Without Limits is a book about the man who was born without limbs. But he made his limitations as his assets. Nick Vijucic is a pillar of hope for those who feel life ends when we hit the bottom. This man has surpassed all obstacles of nature. Even without limbs, he is an excellent swimmer, scuba diver, drummer, he is extremely independent physically and financially, he also supports the community by being a motivational speaker and being associated with many philanthropy organizations. I have known about Nick since a few years back actually. Recently we've been looking at compelling characters, and if you want compelling, Nick's humor mixed with his ability to completely sway his readers from his "disabilities" is simply mesmerizing. After surfing through youtube to get to know him better, often the reaction is that people don't even realize that he is missing all 4 limbs and only has small feet at the bottom to get himself around. How he just lives from day to day spreading his positive message of approaching life knowing that it has no limits just makes me wonder, in awe. Just awe. Usually people would pity him for his "disabilities", but I'm so glad that he's shown a different side to this; that he does not feel the need to be bedridden or to be in a wheelchair and to be pitied upon. This story is crafted so beautifully; so dangerously, it will no doubt take your breath away. Because you shouldn't feel sad or disgusted; instead you should want the same determination he has for life and how he approaches situations. With what he has done so far, how much more can we do! Often we need to be put in such circumstances in order to really learn how to appreciate simple things. Delicate, somewhere between heartwarming and heartbreaking, Life Without LImits is something to treasure.
What do You think about Your Life Without Limits: Living Above Your Circumstances (2012)?
En un principio quise saber como era la vida de Nick, este es un libro de auto reflexivo, porque nos damos cuenta de que hay personas que sufren cosas mucho peores que las nuestras y nos echamos a morir por lo mas mínimo. Aquí se muestra como tuvo él que afrontar su discapacidad, eso abarca desde su nacimiento a como tuvo que comenzar a adaptarse a que el no tuviera extremidades y los demas lo aceptaran como es. El después de varios momentos difíciles que enfrento obtuvo buenos resultados e incluso ´el sabe hacer cosas que yo no y tengo todas mis extremidades. Así es como los ''discapacitados'' son mejores que uno mismo. (''Discapacitado'': porque el no lo parece, al tener la energía y la actitud que presenta)

Asombroso. Las experiencias que Nick relata a través del libro son para quedarse boquiabiertos, tanto sus propias experiencias como las de otras personas que menciona. Es impresionante el enterarte de lo deteriorado que el mundo se encuentra realmente, más de lo que uno se imaginaba.Lo único que no me gustó fue la alta dependencia que demuestra en Dios. No estoy en contra de la religión ni nada de eso, es sólo que debió darse mayor mérito a sí mismo por sus logros.
