Inspirational Video

Today I watched a video sent in one of the groups I subscribe to. It was really inspirational at the same time unbelievable. It is about a 23 year old inspirational speaker Nick Vijucic, who goes around world tour with packed houses. The unbelievable part is that he has no limbs (No arms and Legs), just one little foot like structure at his bottom. He is very successful speaker, who has already spoken to and inspired more than a Million people in last 3 years across the world.

Here is his video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo_24_qTNac&feature=related .

He professed three points:
1. Perspective - Look at what you have and not what you do not have.
2. Vision - Develop ideas and dreams on what you want to do and live them as a possibility.
3. Choices - Make choices to fulfill your vision by making constant efforts towards achieving your dreams; the first step - Stop procrastinating.

He says that when he realized that he did not have limbs like normal people, he looked at what he had. This was the change in perspective, which brought him strength to deal with life. Else he has not only thought, but have also attempted committing suicide several times.

Then he developed dreams - visions of what he want to be. Not that he has achieved even few of them, but has started working have started achieving, like he wants to appear in Oprah Winfrey Show, would like a movie made on him and is writing a book titled "No arms, No Legs, No Worries".

Every thing is coming to him, as he has been making constant efforts and making continuous choices towards achieving his vision (dreams). Not that he has not procrastinated, he has all the times. But he says even if you fall a 100 times, never give up on getting up one more time. You would only fail, once you give up.

Besides this I have been very present to my father's absence in the life, but after speaking to Ma and her interaction with several Muni Maharaj, anecdotes with Babuji's fellow worshippers made me feel better.

As I am saying to many people, I MUST live the ideals of my father to truly pay my tributes to him.
