　　People often think someone　7　a severe disability to be inactive, upset, maybe even crazy. But I’d like to　8　them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fruitful life.

　　Among the hundreds of　9　on that video, here’s one typical remark: “Seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why I feel　10　for myself sometimes—or feel not funny enough, or whatever. How can I　11　think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being happy? ”

　　I found happiness when I realized that　12　as I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic. I’m designed　13　God’s plan. That’s not to say that there isn’t　14　for improvement. I’m always trying to be better so I can better　15　the world!

As we　17　our journey together, please take a moment to　18　about any limitations you’ve placed on your life. Now think about what　19　would be like to be　20　of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?
