Life no limits
Events 7 February 2017 Krzysztof Sadecki
What is the Congress Life without limits? – A motivation and artistic show.
Where did such an idea come from? – As it usually happens in life, the creation of this project was dictated by life experience itself. The organizer of this event, Milewski & Partners, a company that has been in the market for over 10 years now and is known as an organizer of stock exchange trainings and big motivation and training events, dreamed of giving people something more, something that was not in the market yet, something very important and personal, coming straight from the heart. And that’s the way that came into being the idea of combining motivation seminars with artistic performances and the world of personal development with a large social campaign of making dreams come true for ourselves and those closest to us.
The best speakers in the world and the best speakers and artists from Poland were invited for cooperation. The selection of persons invited to attend is not accidental, each of them has his or her own strong story and different message. Their speeches are linked with artistic performances, where each word and each movement has its meaning and foresees what the spectators will hear next. The whole forms a kind of a special show with its central idea. In the case of the first edition, the idea was that of a great story about dreams, whereas the second edition featured the motif of a road, an individual road that each one of us must follow and that leads us to the fulfilment of dreams, both big and less important ones. And the idea of the event remains unchanged: life without limits.
The undeniably greatest star of the two editions of the Congress was Nick Vujicic, who understood and supported the idea of the entire undertaking from its start. Who better than him can give thousands of spectators an example of a life with no limits, the limits that we usually impose on ourselves. Regardless of the fact that he was born with the rare tetra-amelia syndrome, the congenital absence of limbs, Nick is a man who found enough strength and determination to remove the word “impossible” from his vocabulary forever. He learned to carry out all vital functions by himself as well as swim, skateboard and surf. And above all , he is an excellent speaker, who with his words reaches the hearts of millions of people around the world, giving them energy to struggle for a better life and their dreams. Privately, he is a very warm person, loving husband and a happy father of two fantastic roughnecks.
Both editions of Life without limits were also linked by Jakub B. Bączek, the gem of the Polish coaching scene and the star of the “Polish premier league in mental training”. Fulfilling his dreams every day, Kuba proves to the world that everything in life depends only on yourself. You just need to become an expert in your own life and put 200% in everything you do. This is what the road to making dreams come true looks like, hence Jakub’s famous quote “Dreams don’t come true, you make them come true”. Thanks to this approach Jakub B. Bączek and the Polish national volleyball team won the World Champion title. He is one of the greatest speakers in the world, a businessman, mental strategist and life enthusiast. When he is not involved in giving speeches, he spends several months travelling, while his numerous businesses are still operating.
Apart from the aforementioned stars, the first edition also hosted Les Brown – the bestselling author and legendary motivation speaker, recognized by Forbes as No 2 in his field. His passionate style captivates everyone and his smile can melt any heart. He helps others to discover their potential and gives advice how to make use of it. The 30,000 audience also listened to the incredible stories of Richard Tan and Patryk Liew, Łukasz Jakóbiak – about his 20 square meters, Robert Zagożdżon and Krzysztof Cybul.
The second edition was opened with a speech by a true warrior, the ultra-marathon runner Daniel Lewczuk, who presented pictures of his extreme expeditions to the four deserts, during which he experienced first-hand what it means to push your limits and the boundaries of your own mind. The next strong story was that of a woman from Jamaica, who had to confront slave labour on a mango plantation, was tormented by life, abused sexually and lived in extreme poverty, but decided to change her life and search for her own happiness. 10,000 spectators listened to the following presentation in complete silence, some of them were moved to tears by the price that Kamila Rowińska had to pay for her success.
The emotions were so strong that they had to be released by means of “laughter yoga” techniques, presented by our charismatic mental trainer Jakub B. Bączek. After dinner the renowned Polish fashion designer Ewa Minge, associated with fashion and international catwalks, didn’t speak about that remote world of fashion at all, but about mutual love, “passing on the goodness”, helping others to fulfill their dreams, and urged to be a miracle to other people. After a standing ovation for Mrs. Ewa came the time for a unique individual, announced in a unique way by Łukasz Milewski himself, not dressed in a suit, but in a new hip-hop outfit so close to his heart. The time came for a volcano of energy of the hip-hop preacher Erick Thomas. This incredible, most famous worldwide powerful motivation YouTube voice addressed us passionately from the stage and spoke about passion – that’s the key word. He said: “Always put passion into everything you do.” Next to appear on the stage was a true chaplain of the human soul, Andrew Cichocki. At first glance, a man with a grim apparition, speaking from the stage of love, desire for happiness, important questions about life, his own personal dilemmas and finding your own way. And by tradition, as a last point, Nick Vujicic said, “I love you, I believe in you, Don’t give up! I am here to inspire you. Because life is a gift.”
As organizers, we are often asked: who is this event intended for? There is only one answer – for everyone. And this works. The best evidence of this are the two editions of Life without limits, whose participants included the handicapped, businessmen, ordinary people living normal lives, students, children and often the entire many-generation families. From the start we dreamed that it would be a very special day giving stimulus and a dose of positive energy that is so indispensable in our present, rather grey reality. The day when we forget about our daily problems, the day that encourages reflection, the change of oneself and one’s life, the change for the better. That is the reason why we try to bring to the stage the people who have already changed their lives, pushed their own limits and today themselves set an example for others.
