3중고통의 헬렌켈레를 많이들 말하고 전하고 느끼며들 우리는 살아 가고 있다. 말 하나만 못해도 금방 엄청난 공황으로 생이 혼란스러울 것인데 귀마져 않들린다면 살아 갈 자신감이 있을 수 있을까. 이 정도에서 끝난다해도 생의 존재를 고민할 터인데 눈마저도 볼 수없다면 더 무슨 살이유가 살소망이 살아갈 자신이 있겠는가. 우리에게 주는 고전적 클라식 교훈이라하자. 지금 오늘의 이야기다. 두팔두다리가 없는 아이가 8살 때에 자실로 생을 마감하기를 원했다. 긴 세월이 흘렀다 아니 지금도 지나고 있다. 그는 지금 줄기 찬 행복한 인생을 살고 있다. 상황여건환경주변시선 그 어떤 것이라 할지라도 삶이 즐겁지 않고 생이 행복하지 않을 이유가 없다. 우주자연창조주God신은 이 땅 지구에서 '나'로 성공하고 또 누리라고 모든 요건자격능력을 장착하여 여기에 보냈다. 이 엄연한 사실만 인지하고 있는 것만으로도 성공재벌출세의 거대한 자존감에 자신을 불태울 수있다
"I was eight years old, and I did want to end my life. I felt hopeless. Broken. Alone. It's like it was pointless. There was no point to my life."
That quote is from Nick Vujicic – a man with no arms and no legs. More importantly than what he doesn't have though, I'm interested in the thing he seems to have that eludes many of us: long term happiness.
With that in mind, let's consider this: If a eight year old boy who wanted to die – because he had no arms and no legs – could find happiness, is it possible that we could as well? If so, what would it take?
I thought long and hard about what I would write to you today. How could I begin to even answer that question? It would take pages, perhaps even a book or series of books. Then I realized... some questions are better answered in a different way. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so what might a video be worth?
So today I have two videos for you that I really want you to take the time to watch. I am sure you will be touched by them, just as I have been. The first is an incredibly inspiring 5-minute video of Nick sharing a bit about his life, as well as showing off a few things he can do. :)

Consider yourself warned...
If you're sensitive like I am then this video may just bring tears to your eyes. :)
And after watching that video, ask yourself...
If Nick is capable of that, and he can be happy, what are you capable of? Is happiness possible for you? What about for people you know... for everybody?
Nick truly is an inspiration to me, and I'm sure after you watch the above video you'll see why I watch it time and time again. He inspires me to be more than I believe myself to be capable of, and he reminds me that even on my most difficult days, happiness is possible for each and every single one of us.
