Record-setting college basketball coach John Wooden is an inspiring teacher for many athletes. A famous quote of his is:

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

One of the very best examples of someone who lives John Wooden’s words isn’t known as an athlete. Nick Vujicic, though, is inspiring for athletes and everyone else.

I get more out of that video every time I watch it. I love Nick Vujicic’s celebration of life, attitude of gratitude, emphasis on strength rather than limitations, and never-give-up focus. I also love this quote from the video:

If I fail, I try again, and again, and again.

What do you find most inspiring about the Nick Vujicic video?

    This is so great, Deb. Thank you for sharing it – I plan on e-mailing it to my co-workers and friends.

    What I like best about this video is that Nick doesn't let his handicap define him.

    I love that. I'm not defined by my life tragedies, set backs, or disabilities. I am defined by my attitude and how I overcome obstacles.

    What a great post, Deb!

    Thanks, Ice Mom! I received a link to the video in an e-mail from my daughter-in-law's father. It was a great video to watch first thing in the morning!

    This is so inspiring! It reminds us that we should make the best of our circumstances and can be happy doing that. Nothing is impossible!

    I hope people will share this video with others. It should be seen by as many people as possible. John Wooden and Nick Vujicic are both such inspirations!
