Nick Vujicic on Standing Strong 1: Beautiful Things
I rarely sign up for memberships or join special interest groups. However, last week I was feeling pretty lucky that I’m a Kinokuniya Bookstore member. You know why?

If not for my membership, I would not have been alerted about this once-in-a- lifetime opportunity to meet an Incredibly Inspiring Individual (I.I.I.) right in my backyard.

This week I share with you 5 inspiring messages that I heard from Nick Vujicic, best-selling author and well-loved human being.

The early days were difficult. Throughout his childhood, Nick not only dealt with the typical challenges of school and adolescence, but he also struggled with depression and loneliness. Nick constantly wondered why he was different than all the other kids. He questioned the purpose of life, or if he even had a purpose.
According to Nick, the victory over his struggles, as well as his strength and passion for life today, can be credited to his faith in God. His family, friends and the many people he has encountered along the journey have inspired him to carry on, as well…”

* Here is my first ‘salute collage’ ; I don’t want to call it a tribute since he’s very much alive – and living his life to the fullest, if I may add. I salute you Nick! You are a great inspiration!
