Rise Up, Speak Out, & Let Your Story Heal the Way
A powerful method to transmute darkness into light
When Nick Vujicic was born, the delivery room went completely silent.
The doctor tried holding him just out of his mother’s sight, but his father had already caught a glance over the doctor’s shoulder.
Immediately, the baby was rushed out of the delivery room.
“What’s going on?” his mother asked.
Without a response, his father chased after them.
“What’s going on here?” he demanded, “My son has no arm?”
“No,” the doctor replied…
“Your son doesn’t have any arms… or legs.”
The doctor continued to apologize:
“We’re so very sorry. He will never walk and he will never go to school and we’re sorry you didn’t have the opportunity to abort him before it was too late.”
Everyone was blindsided.
Back in the delivery room, the parents wept over the news.
“I wanna go see him,” his father insisted.
Moments later, he took the baby boy in his arms, looked at his son, and said…
“He’s beautiful.”
38 years later, Nick Vujicic (“voo-yi-chich”) is one of the most inspirational public speakers on the planet. He’s shared his story in front of 8.5 million people in 74 different countries. He’s a best-selling author, a father, a husband, a man of faith, and a remarkable human being.
Could he have been destroyed by the pain of never living a normal life?
Of course — and in many cases, he almost was.
But Nick never let his pain hold him back. In fact, he embraced it. He channelled it. And he alchemized it into something else.
He took his pain and transmuted it from darkness into light — and in the process, redefined what it means to be impossible.
And whether you believe it or not, your story can do the same.
The only catch is that you have to open up and share it.
And no, you don’t have to be a world-class public speaker to do so — there are many ways you can share your story.
Through a book… or a blog… or a video series… or a podcast.
It doesn’t matter.
But share it, you must.
Exactly as Nick does.
Because if you do, you’ll start to convert your pain into a glowing beacon of hope and light — and in the process, heal not only yourself, but also the wounds of many others.
The world deserves that healing.
YOU deserve that healing.
And it’s within your power to make it happen.
So rise up, speak out, and let your story heal the way
Halt right there!
