Nick Vujicic: I Love Living Life. I Am Happy.

I realized that I may not have hands to hold my wife's hand but when the time comes, I'll be able to hold her heart.



Nick Vujicic, who was born without limbs, married Kanae Miyahara on February 12 in a romantic ceremony in California, and now the happy couple is enjoying their honeymoon in Hawaii, Nollywoodgossip has learned.

Just like any other newlyweds, they are spending their romantic vacation relaxing on the beach, taking holiday photos and enjoying sunset cocktails – the only thing that makes them different is that Nick has no arms or legs, but that’s never stopped him from fulfilling any of this life dreams so it certainly wasn’t going to prevent him from making a trip down the aisle.

Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, there was no medical explanation or warning to suggest that Nick was going to be different from any other baby until his birth. Parents Pastor Boris and Dushka Vujicic were determined that his disability wouldn’t prevent their son from leading a normal life, or even skateboarding like other kids!

After a tough time in school being bullied for being different, Nick went to college and got a double Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning from Griffith University in Logan, Australia.

Instead of wallowing in his misfortunate, Nick was determined to make the most of the cards God dealt him and help others. “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,” he wrote on his website for his non-profit organization, LifeWithoutLimbs.org.

Vujicic has since made a name for himself traveling around the world as a motivational speaker, and finally made the big move from Australia to California in 2007, where he popped the question to Kanae last August.

Nick Vujicic and his attitude serve as a great examples of the celebration of life over limitations.

The human spirit can handle much more than we realize.

"I LOVE LIVING LIFE. I AM HAPPY."

Think you've got it bad?

"If I fail, I try again, and again, and again..."
If YOU fail, are YOU going to try again?

It matters how you're going to FINISH...
Are you going to finish STRONG?

We are put in situations to build our character... not destroy us.

The tensions in our life are there to strengthen our convictions... not to run over us.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Nick is thankful for what he HAS.
He's not bitter for what he does NOT have.

I have never met a bitter person who was thankful.
I have never met a thankful person who was bitter.

In life you have a choice: Bitter or BETTER?

Keanu Reeves: Upclose and Personal

"This guy reading the newspaper on the subway is Keanu Reeves.

He is from a problematic family. His father was arrested when he was 12 for drug dealing and his mother was a stripper. His family moved to Canada and there he had several step dads.

He watched his girlfriend die. They were about to get married, and she died in a car accident. And also before that she had lost her baby. Since then Keanu avoids serious relationships and having kids.

He's one of the only Hollywood stars without a Mansion. He said: 'I live in a flat, I have everything that I need at anytime, why choose an empty house?'

One of his best friends died by overdose, he was River Phoenix (Joaquin Phoenix's brother). Almost in the same year Keanu's father was arrested again.

His younger sister had leukemia. Today she is cured, and he donated 70% of his gains from the movie Matrix to Hospitals that treat leukemia.

In one of his birthdays, he got to a little candy shop and bought him a cake, and started eating alone. If a fan walked by he would talk to them and offer some of the cake.

He doesn't have bodyguards, and he doesn't wear fancy clothes.

When they asked him about 'Sad Keanu', he replied: 'You need to be happy to live, I don't.'"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Everybody's got a story to tell. Sometimes it's a really sad one, like his. Almost every woman reading this will react in the same way, I believe. Don't you just feel the urge to go find him, to hug him, to listen to him and just... be a friend? Sending some love your way, Keanu...
