Unstoppable is
the second book written by Nick Vujicic, founder of Life Without Limbs. Nick
Vujicic is a motivational speaker who was born without arms or legs. When he
was first born, like many parents they didn’t understand why their son had been
born without any limbs. But despite what the world would declare that Nick
wouldn’t be able to do, he is doing! He has learned to surf, skateboard, and swim.
His life wasn’t without pain and many fears controlled his negative thoughts. He
strongly believed that he would be a burden to his family forever and he couldn’t
make a decent living on his own. He struggled with depression and suicide as a
young boy at the age of ten. He wanted to end his life where he wouldn’t have
to be a burden to his family. He tried to drown himself in his bathtub a few
times, but luckily he wasn’t able to actually go through with it.
He also feared that his desire to get married and have a
family wouldn’t ever happen. He felt that because he couldn’t hold his wife
hand or hug her, no one would want him as a husband. Chapter three went into great
detail about how he eventually met his wonderful wife Kanae. And after the book
was released, they announced that they are expecting their first child! His
story also tells the graphic experiences about him being bullied and the impact
it can have on a child.
I would recommend this marvelous book to any readers who
are feeling like quitting and giving up on life or love. If you have lost your
hope for a better future, this book will benefit you, if you take the messages
to heart. Nick’s book is about finding your passion, making a difference in the
world, putting action behind your faith, believing that you are here for a
reason and purpose, that you are loved, that God is going to work everything
out for your ultimate good, that God can give the desires of your heart, and so
much more!
Chapter three was the chapter that encouraged me the most
because I have like many others doubted that God had a special spouse for me to
marry and that I would one day have children. I struggled to believe that it
was even possible that someone would even want me. I’m twenty-two years old and
personally I haven’t dated any woman or, in fact, been on a date. And to be honest, dating seriously frightens me
and I won’t know how to keep the conversation going. I had a difficult time healing from my past
disappointments about my failed relationships rejections. I only seemed to
attract the type of women that like to play around with hearts and then move
on. Often times I believe that others deserve to have that close intimacy in
marriage and that’s something I won’t ever have. I also saw the hard truth that
I was jealous of everyone else who was in a blissful relationship and I feared
that I would die and never have experienced the love of a woman.
Nick’s story about his own failed attempts at relationships
deeply encouraged me to keep trying and let God take the lead. I am beginning to
realize that to find love I have to never give up on it. I will admit that
sometimes I want to and I am guilty of singing Miranda Lambert’s hit song, “Kerosene”.
The verse that I would sing loudly would be: “I'm giving up on
love cause love's given up on me”. Nick helped open my eyes
to the fact that I was the one who is afraid of rejection and of actually
finding love. I shielded and protected myself from experiencing happiness and
love. I was lonely and I didn’t want to face the truth and overcome the fears
that I had. Nick’s story is a huge encouragement that God will give me the
desires of my heart. Nick also reminded me that I wasn’t so alone in my
feelings, disappointments, pain, and hurts. And whether I stay single or
eventually marry I will still be alright. I truly believe that Nick’s story
will vastly change your life and give you much needed encouragement! By the end
of the book, you will realize that you are unstoppable, and you must put action
behind your faith.
