Wednesday Video - Dream Big

There are days when I feel I desperately need some inspiration. Something to perk me up, like a nice steaming cup of coffee on a cold winter morning. Today was one of those days. I was in one of my contemplative moods, mulling half baked plans and a Big Dream in my head, my thoughts steering towards the very real possibility of failing. Yes, I needed a good pep talk.

And then I found this clip...



And boy did it do its magic on me. I think I'll save the coffee for some other day :)

Wednesday Video - No Limits

I am back to blogging after a long hiatus. And I wanted to start off with something really special. So starting this week I will be posting an inspirational clip every Wednesday.

This week's clip is of an amazing guy - Nick Vujicic. Nick was born without limbs and yet is a shining example of someone who beat the odds, who believed he had a lot of abilities despite his disability. Nick's story is truly inspirational and I am happy that I found some great videos of him to share with you.




If you're wondering why Nick? Well, here's the short story. In the days following AngelicA's birth, the phase which I still look back upon as a sort of a low patch, the newspapers and magazines were filled with stories of people who made it in life despite being born with disabilities. Strange coincidence, right? Just when I would be thinking what would become of my baby, there would be some inspiring article somewhere to remind me that all was not lost, that there is still hope. When I look back I like to think of those moments as my 'Hand of God' moments.

Nick's story was the first that I read in those days. I'm not exactly sure but this story could have been one of the things that lifted me to see the positives in my situation.

Here's another clip:



After watching these clips, I can't help but feel inspired and blessed. I'm sure that you will too.
