The Man with No Arms, No Legs & No Worries

Tuesday, 27 January, 2009 - 10:21 pm

Posted by Rabbi Chaim Bryski
Last week, I met an incredible man.  For no known medical reason, twenty-six-year-old Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs.
 
Despite his tremendous limitations, he is a successful stock trader and real estate investor.  With his wealth, his passion and kindness is immortalized through the many orphanages he opened around the world along with countless other charitable projects.  Now he is a professional, motivational speaker and is currently writing a book.  In the past six months, he has told his story in over 14 countries, and via the media to over 500 million people.
 
While the story of the Jews' enslavement in Egypt under the rule of King Pharoah can seem ancient and irrelevent to our more modern lives today, it holds a timeless message for every generation since, and every generation to come.
 
We are all enslaved in some degree to our own personal Pharoahs-inner-demons, addictions, fears, temptations. Hearing Nick's story can inspire us to get in touch with that limitless power within, the beautiful soul, which is an actual piece of G-d. When we are in sync with the power within us, we too can transcend great challenges. We too can achieve a personal Exodus. YES WE CAN!!!

Dietary chegnas:Small chegnas really add up. I cut cola out of my diet and it's helped a lot.If you don't have time to cook healthy meals buy a slow cooker. Chop up a bunch of veggies and some meat, throw it all in with some water and you have a healthy meal but in a slow cooker you can get the food cut up and in the cooker in the morning and have it ready for dinner.Exercise:I walk my son to and from school so I'm making activity a part of my life, while the walk alone won't drastically change me overnight the concept or idea of working fitness into your daily routine and can really help. Walk instead of taking a car/bus not only does it save you money on gas/bus fair but it's a great way to squeeze in that extra bit of exercise.While you are studying take jumping jack breaks, not only does this incorporate exercise into your day but in increases the oxygen flow to your brain which keeps you more focused and helps you learn things easier.When you are reading class material try doing bicep curls, before long it will be second nature and you'll be able to focus on the reading while squeezing in that extra bit of exercise. (just use some light weight dumbbells that can be stored in your desk/out of the way). You could also use a resistance band if you prefer.If you can wake up 20 minutes earlier try squeezing in the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. It is an interval training dvd and everyone I know has had results from using it, best of all each session is only 20 minutes long.Healthy supplements can increase the vitamins and anti-oxidents in your body and help your metabolism run faster.I hope these ideas help you, good luck =)

What i do not realize is acullaty how you are not really much more well-liked than you might be right now. You're very intelligent. You realize thus significantly relating to this subject, made me personally consider it from a lot of varied angles. Its like men and women aren't fascinated unless it’s one thing to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs great. Always maintain it up!
