Impossible Challenges And The Enlightened Wealth Institute

Need some inspiration? Have you fallen down and can’t seem to find the strength to get back up. I’ve been there. The enlightened wealth institute helped me to get back my courage and determination. A man I have been very influenced and inspired by is Nick Vujicic, a man born with no arms or legs. Nick loves life and is happy. Do you love life; are you happy? Or do you find yourself stuck in bitterness and defeat? Do you think you got a bum deal somewhere along life’s road? That would give you the feeling of entitlement to live a life impaired by emotional disablement.
Who Is Nick?

I found Nick one day when I was facing an incredibly challenging time in my life; one of many. You know how it goes. We start off with the best of intentions in business or relationships. We’ve heard that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, haven’t we? And sometimes we totally buy into to the “hell” when our good intentions are dashed against the rocks of life’s adversities. Nick made me so ashamed of myself. Not intentionally. I saw what he was dealt in life and could only imagine what he must have faced to live anything close to an ordinary life . . . let alone an extraordinary life. When I heard him speak I realized that I had been living way too small of a life. I had been believing the “can’ts. The enlightened wealth institute helped me to start taking life by the horns and believing the “can’s”.

What Will Stop You . .

. . from living life to the fullest? Nick has learned to golf, swim, surf, play soccer and speak inspirationally to people. He
encourages people to “Get Up” even if we have fallen down one hundred times. He tells us, as many of the greats have, that we are put into situations to build our character, not to destroy us. He has learned to laugh at life’s adversities and seeming “limitations”. He travels around the world talking to young people about getting back up. He asks the very relevant question to his audiences, “Do you have hope?” What do you do when you are face down with no arms or legs? He talks from the heart. He says that even if he fails one hundred times, the only way he will not get back up is if he stops trying to.

The Finish

“What matters is how you are gonna finish. Are you gonna finish strong?” says Nick. This struck me to the heart. I was at a place where I was embarrassed and discouraged that I had failed in several areas of my life. I lost my businesses, was broke, had debilitating physical conditions, and my family relations had fallen to pieces. I had been wallowing in self pity and despair. I didn’t even have the belief in myself to gamble a new start. My self confidence had dried up completely. It was not a fun place. I didn’t want to go out of my house. I didn’t want to answer my phone. I didn’t want to see people being happy because it made me feel like I would never have those feelings again. I felt like all that was left was to live out my life in the “waiting room” for death; the real finish.

Life Over Limitations

Nick Vujicic celebrates life over limitations. The enlightened wealth institute taught me that there is no limitation that can’t be overcome. It’s a mindset. Nick could have just given up; laid in his bed feeling bitter and angry. I could have just given up too. When I saw what he has accomplished and put into practice what my ewi mentors taught me I knew I could be unstoppable too. I started to believe that the human spirit can handle much more than we realize. “The challenges we face in life are to strengthen our convictions; they aren’t here to run us over”.  These are the words I have printed up on a card on my car dashboard, my refrigerator, my bathroom mirror and my night stand.

Anything Is Possible

I know we’ve heard it many times before but, it is true that if we don’t quit, anything is possible. Nick didn’t think he would be able to go to a university and I thought I might never have a very successful business and happy family again. Nick graduated college, with a double major in accounting and financial planning, at the age of twenty one. I practiced diligence and tenacity to re-build my life again and have a life so much richer that I ever dreamed. It is richer for having faced the darkness of adversity and come through to the shining light of success. I am so very thankful to the enlightened wealth institute and to Nick for helping me to make a different choice; a choice of perseverance and joy.
