Nick Vujicic – Life Without Limbs – No Limits, No Worry’s part 2 of 6

Nick Vujicic’s story is an inspiration to all and a miracle.
It is a story of hope and courage. Nick was born without limbs; no arms or legs. Yet he lives life to the fullest. He is a great man and a Christian following in the footsteps of Christ.

This is part 2 of 6. Nick’s whole testamoney here is about 45 mins in length.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Vujicic

Nicholas James Vujicic (December 1982) is a preacher, a motivational speaker and the Director of Life Without Limbs, a non profit Christian organization. He regularly gives speeches across subject of disability and hope.

Early life
The first-born child of a Serbian family, Nick Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Australia with the rare Tetra-amelia disorder: limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and legless but with two small feet, one of which has two toes. Initially, his parents were devastated. Vujicic was otherwise healthy.

Growing up
His life was filled with difficulties and hardships. One was being prohibited by Victoria state law from attending a mainstream school because of his physical disability, even though he was not mentally impaired. During his schooling, the laws were changed, and Vujicic was one of the first disabled students to be integrated into a mainstream school.[2] He learned to write using the two toes on his left foot, and a special device that slid onto his big toe which he uses to grip. He also learned to use a computer and type using the “heel and toe” method (as demonstrated in his speeches), throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone, shave and get himself a glass of water (also demonstrated in speeches).

Management Training For Life

I’d been working a 70 hour week for as long as I could remember. I was doing it for the family. So they could have the best things in life. Out at the crack of dawn, back after the kids were in bed, a microwaved evening meal in front of the TV with a large whiskey to help me unwind.

I didn’t see much of the wife or children but sacrifices had to be made. I was building a future, a legacy for my children. This was the most important thing in my life. I’d wasted my youth and was now determined to show the world I could make a success of my life.

It was around this time that I took a call from a management training company. No thanks, I said, like I need help!

I’d worked my way up the corporate ladder. God knows how! Sometimes pure luck but there had been some close shaves along the way. Like the time I was working towards my first promotion for departmental manager. I had such a vast workload. I had no choice. There was no-one else as capable as me. I couldn’t afford to let anyone else screw this up for me. How I coped I’ll never know!

The area managers job was now in my sights. All those people to give orders to. Maybe I could delegate some of the workload and take an easier route. I sat up all night working on my presentation. I was determined to show those in power that I had what it took. After my sixth whiskey the presentation looked perfect and I fell into a fitful sleep on the sofa.

Waking late the next day, I threw all my things together with no thought to my personal appearance. A little dishevelled, I realised, when I got there but a quick spruce up in the gents would suffice. Once in the meeting I began to feel the effects of last nights alcohol consumption. Sweating and shaking, I managed to bluff my way through the presentation and scraped through to my much prized area managers job.

My subordinates were not appreciative of my managerial style. They begrudgingly did what I asked but they had no drive. No ambition. They took sick days for stress related complaints all the time. What did they have to be stressed about when I felt like it was always me doing the work?

Another call from a consultancy claiming they could improve my departments productivity with some tailored courses on managerial training. What would they know when it was me, out there, doing it. And doing it well as far as I was concerned.

If I could just make it to regional manager Id be happier. More affluent, better car, bigger house, the envy of all the neighbours. Of course, it would involve extra work but I could cope.

I took it on and I took it home. Weekends passed in a blur with me hammering away on my lap top – regular expletives and shunting away of children occuring. But I did it. I got that promotion. So, I stepped on a few people on the way. These things happen. Dispensable commodities was how I saw them. If they didnt want to succeed then more fool them!

Then one day everything changed. I closed my laptop the evening before and went to bed with that last drink that would get me off to sleep. Well, it did that alright.

I remembered nothing else until I work up in hosptial the next day after suffering a heart attack. I will never forget my wifes distraught face. It was like seeing her for the first time. Holding my children I couldn’t remember the last time I had done this.

Of course it was stress, bad diet, bad life style, no work/life balance that had brought me here but above all it was my foolish refusal to accept help. I didn’t understand how so many people could get as far as they did and not end up here, in hospital, beside me.

I recovered well and returned to work but things had changed. The atmosphere was different. I was called into the boss’ office and their kindness amazed me. Without many words, my boss quietly slid a business card across the table with the business training and coaching consultancy’s number on it.

I conceded what I thought was defeat and gave them a call. With the utmost tact they put my life back together. I learnt how to deal with my staff, how to delegate efficiently, how to organise my workload and change my outlook. More importantly they gave me back my family that I came so close to losing.

Within a year I had recovered enough to get back to where I was. But with a difference. After several management training courses tailored to my specific needs, my staff were happy, I was happy, confidence soared within the company as the training was applied to all and business was thriving.

I also learnt to leave work at work and enjoy my family.

A Solid Decision – Right-brain Decision-making and Left-brain Decision-making

A Solid Decision

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Nightly for many years I lay in my lonely marriage bed and fantasized about what I called “running away from home.” I could never quite see how I’d do it. To keep thinking about it seemed to relieve the pressure of my daily struggle but still no action for 15 years.

Now I realize that my biggest moment of power was when I made the decision to leave my husband. I made a decision. I even trusted it though I had not thought the whole idea through. This time what blossomed in my mind as a result of that decision was the awareness that I could rely on myself. And as important, the decision motivated the actions that followed.

I had heard the voice of my Real Self guiding me and it was in this way that I decided the future of my life. I heard “could” instead of “should” and “want to” instead of “have to”.

The old ego-mind voice was trying to keep everything the same for itself and left a heavy feeling in my gut. The new voice left me feeling uplifted and light. It felt like angels in my heart rather than a pitchfork in my butt.

Tony Robbins is quoted as saying, “To decide is to cut off any other possibility.” Making a decision means jumping from one state of mind to another. Before – I thought and felt this way; now – I think and feel this new way. Make a decision and it is not hard to follow the new way as it generates a new consciousness and therefore, ideas, knowledge and different-than-before actions follow.

Right-Brain and Left-Brain Decisions

There is right-brain decision making which is intuitive. And, there is left-brain decision-making that is systematic. Above is an example of right-brain decision-making. Intuitive decision-making hides the steps. You make a “belief-in-your-own-knowing” leap of faith when you trust and act on this kind of decision.

Recently I made the left-brain, systematic decision when I decided after seeing my cheeks and nose turn bright red from eating too many refined carbohydrates, that I would eat only what I knew was right for my body.

For several days my mind went crazy trying to get me to eat the wrong stuff. Here’s what it did then and for the past 40+ years:

* I heard my mind use scientific information it had previously gathered to its own “advantage” to try to get me to eat refined carbohydrates.

* I heard my mind discount all scientific information as to how excess weight happens and how refined foods effect that – as hooey.

* I found my mind leaving me completely confused about what is the right thing to for me to eat. And confusion is a very rare state for me. I may not know something but I generally know that I don’t know.

* I found my mind telling me that all this food preparation was too much work and takes too much time.

* I heard my mind telling me that eating the same things over and over is boring.

* In the recent past I’ve found myself being evasive to people who I want to think I’m following a special program perfectly.

* I have also watched my mind give me permission to eat whatever I want as if I’m the parent and the child at the same time.

* Often at the beginning of a diet, an eating program or an exercise program I’ve had strong enthusiasm and watched my thoughts generate real excitement only to have that feeling of enthusiasm fade and so too my resolve. My mind was now generating “it’s not so great” thoughts and so my feelings followed suit.

* I’ve also heard my mind telling me that “this hunger will be too much to bear”.

* I found my mind telling me and making me feel that “I don’t care” about anything other then the food at hand – I’ll just eat what I want. And that’s really a funny one. Every time I’ve listened to that voice for the umpteenth time, it is immediately followed by another voice beating me up.

Thus, I made a decision – “I cut off any other possibility.” So I just listen to the voices, feel the feelings, don’t do what they tell me to do and they fade away.

You made a decision and read this article. Reading an article is not a big decision or a big deal. Was it an intuitive decision or a step-by-step decision? My guess is that it was an intuitive decision. If that is so, then it may follow that your intuition is guiding you toward a journey of transformation and beginning to reveal a new opening of consciousness that is forming in you.

So having made the decision, though unconsciously and now having become conscious of your decision, you can look at what else you need for your transformational journey.

In the 12 Step program they say, “If you want what I have, you have to do what I do.” I’m happy to share what I do; however, I’d like to tweak the 12-Step statement a bit and say,

IF YOU WANT WHAT I HAVE AND DON’T HAVE IT – A HAPPY MARRIAGE, GOOD FAMILY RELATIONS, WONDERFUL FRIENDS AND VERY SATISFYING, PURPOSEFUL WORK, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN YOU ARE DOING NOW OR IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS DONE YOU’LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ALWAYS GOT!

My writing and coaching offers the ways and tools that work for me. Choose these or whatever else works for you. Simply be honest with yourself along the way.

Integrity Way has agreed to provide many of their apartment homes for Transformations Treatment Center. They will also provide staff for monitoring, drug testing and transporting clients.

Transformations Treatment Center is located in Delray Beach, Florida and is licensed by the Department of Children and Families for a Partial Hospitalization and an Intensive Outpatient Program.

Integrity Way Transitional Housing has recently contracted with Transformations Treatment Center to add additional support for those suffer with drug addiction and alcoholism.

Transformations main areas of expertise are relapse prevention, faith based treatment, and life skills training. They are a thirty to ninety day program.

They prepare clients to gain employment through job coaching, interviewing skills, resume building, financial budgeting, and time management. When the client reaches the third phase they are gainfully employed and they attend group counseling three times a week in the Intensive Outpatient Program.

From this point, a client is given permission to enter into the Integrity Way Transitional Housing Program and attend Transformations aftercare program which allows the client to attend up to three group counseling sessions at no cost. Any client who competes Transformations three phase program also qualifies for the Guaranteed Success Program. This program ensures that if a client should relapse within the first year, a client may return for twenty-eight days of treatment at no cost to the client.

“Transformations and Integrity Way are aiming to break the cycle of clients going to multiple drug and alcohol treatment center year after year.Clients who suffer from the disease of addiction and alcoholism need more than just a place to lay down for the night, they need more therapy and life skills training. We are tired of seeing people fail time and time again because they do not have the tools to be successful, say’s VP of Marketing”, Matt Brindisi.

Integrity Way has been running a very successful halfway house program for the past four years. They are well known in the recovery community of Delray Beach, Florida. For years, they have been raising the bar in the halfway house arena by not only providing beautiful luxury apartment homes but a very structured recovery program.

Perfecting the Recipe for Success

Building a truly successful online business is like baking the perfect chocolate cake,
making a fluffy soufflé or creating a fantastic five-course meal.  It requires the
exact combination of tools, timing and technique plus the knowledge that comes from
trial and error over years of experience.  To do all of this on one’s own seems an
insurmountable task but even the most novice web site owner need not be discouraged.
Renowned online copywriter Michel Fortin and his wife, Internet Guru Sylvie Fortin,
have done it all — big time — and have now brought their 10-plus years of experience
working together to Success Chef, a membership program of immense value which is
especially easy to follow.  For example, unlike some other programs, Success Chef is
designed to let you work at your own pace.
This extensive program begins with the basics, then moves on to tons of insider
secrets, winning short cuts and advanced strategies proven to help you build or grow
your Internet business.  The list of topics they cover is extraordinary, including
niche viability assessment, in-demand product development, winning website creation,
targeted traffic generation, improved response and conversion rates and marketing
(advertising and selling).
Successful outsourcing is also a key element to becoming a hugely successful Internet
marketer.  As the Fortins explain, the ability to outsource is critical for novice
e-marketers who, all too often, believe that they have to do everything themselves. 
The normal outcome of this trying to do it all on your own is delay or disaster.  The
Success Chef recipe box clearly outlines what tasks can be delegated and to whom. 
Plus, the program makes outsourcing especially easy to do.
For example, members of this remarkable program are entitled to a variety of services,
including a support team and the One-Click Outsource Option.  They also have access to
group coaching calls and mastermind sessions, some of which feature guest appearances
by other well-respected Internet marketing experts.  Further, the Success Chef website
has special tools to help members chart their progress and a full glossary of Internet
marketing terms.
Since Success Chef is designed to be a work in progress, the Fortins are continually
adding information, new techniques and pertinent case studies.  Given that Sylvie
Fortin is a vocal critic of membership programs that don’t really supply true value,
it’s no wonder that Success Chef is so all encompassing and content-rich.

What You Need to Know Internet Marketing Coaching!

What is internet marketing coaching and how can it help you? Internet marketing coaching is a program that is designed to help you become successful in your online business. It provides you with step-by-step instructions on exactly what you need to accomplish to make money online.

Who needs internet marketing coaching? Maybe a better question is; who doesn’t need internet marketing coaching? Almost everyone can benefit from a good coaching program.

Regardless of how successful you are, and no matter what level you’ve achieved with your online business, there are others who are more successful. It is a much process to copy the successful technique of someone who has done it before than to strike out on your own and have to reinvent the wheel every step of the way. A good coaching program can give you the guidance you need to achieve that next level of success.

Most Internet marketing coaches will teach you what THEY’VE been doing. Regardless of whether their business is based on selling $2 ebooks, for more details visit to www.tube-pros-espects.com or $100 affiliate products, your business will look similar. So you should determine how you want to run your business before deciding on a coach. You need to get a coach from someone who has already accomplished what you want to do. For example, if you want to make $500 a month, you cannot enter into a coaching program from someone who is only making $300 a month. And the same goes with larger sums. If you want to make $5000 a month, the internet marketing coach you choose should be making at least that much.

There are two other factors that are extremely important in the world of Internet marketing coaching. This first is personal contact. You MUST have access, for more details visit to www.the-forum-list.com either by phone or email, to your coach. This service is vitally important.

The second important factor is scheduled lesson plans. These lessons should come out on a regular basis and should be written in a simple straight forward manner. They should also include step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. Make sure that the coaching program you are considering has a series of lessons that will teach you the foundation and principles of what you are doing. That way, you can adapt it to other websites or online businesses.

Are your profits declining or non-existent? If so, you definitely need to take a look at a good coaching program!
