UFS 111 - 4th Reflection ( Life without Limitation )


          This video gives me a deep inspiration. In our lives that anything is possible as the saying goes, life without limits. Born without arms and legs, Nick Vujivic  live their lives as others even less well physically but his spirit to survive he had been able to live independently and be a role model for everybody in finding real happiness. Messages conveyed by him to inspire us all to find our purpose in life is difficult or even impossible to achieve in the future. Life is composed of many opportunities that we can take advantage of. Many doors may open while others may close. There are different paths in life that we can take. This is why I am completely convinced that there are no limits in life to what you can do. It does not matter where you live or what type of home you were raised in all things are possible to them who believe in the impossible. All of the things that we need to accomplish our desires already exist; have to open our eyes to what is available. There is a time for everything under the sun. We must make sure that we are aware of all of the other factors in our life and do not have too many hats on at one time. Must assess the entire situation to make sure this is the right season for us to take act. Do not fear to taking any risk and must learn how to be a risk taker. However, your wisdom when making decisions and have to assess whether it is the right risk to take. Our speeches are a reflection of our thinking and must begin to speech as if we have accomplished our goals and desires. Practice using ‘I can’ statements daily. Speak words that birth life. Pay attention to speech that does not build up and get rid of it.
