I first learned of Nick Vujicic and his amazing story when I and one of my classes were doing our weekly "YouTube" time. I hadn't forgotten his story, but it hadn't been on my mind in recent months. Yesterday morning, I was reminded of Nick's story by the feature story below on CBS Sunday Morning.

Nick was born without arms or legs, yet he has managed to become a New York Times' bestselling author, international speaker, and president and CEO the non-profit organization Life Without Limbs. He also loves to swim, surf, and play golf.

We all go through tough times in our lives, and we should never pretend they aren't real and difficult by comparing ourselves to others whose struggles are worse than ours. But just a little perspective goes a long way, especially when we see such a positive and moving story like Nick's. It's a perfect positive boost as we start a new work week!
