Man With No Legs And 1 Arm Vows 'I Can, And I Will' And Inspires Us All With His Story

A young man named Timur Mason, born with no legs and one arm, vows, ‘I can, and I will’, and inspires us all with his story of overcoming adversity. 

Timur Mason knows the stark difference between surviving and overcoming. He was born in Russia with no legs and only one arm.

The reason why he has physical challenges is that he was exposed to radiation in the womb. When he was born, his mother took him to an orphanage. She left him a letter stating she didn’t want to raise a monster. 

"They say my disabilities are from radiation exposure from Chernobyl,” He added, "I have a letter where she says she didn't want to raise a monster. I don't have any anger or resentment towards that letter or her, honestly, without her giving me up, I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't have the amazing mom I do and the amazing family I have."

Yet, his adoptive mom taught him unconditional love. She also taught him we can overcome adversity because we can do all things through Christ, who gives us strength. Timur’s motto for life is ‘I can and I will.” 

Now Timur Mason is inspiring millions thanks to sharing his life on social media. He shows others he can indeed get a good workout in the gym, go for walks, and play with his dog.

Timur recently shared a new dream. One day he wants to become a motivational speaker. Between you and me, he needs to meet Nick Vujicic, a motivational speaker who was also born without arms or legs. 

Both Timur and Nick remind us that we can live our lives to the fullest and do all things for the glory of God. We merely need to set our sights on the Lord instead of what we don’t have. In the words of Timur Mason, ‘I can and I will,’ Amen!
