BE IN CHARGE OF YOUR OWN SUNSHINE

It is sometimes impossible to make bad things good or sickness change to health. Our best made dreams sometimes come crashing at our feet. Since then we are sometimes powerless to change events obviously we must work to improve our capability to change our attitude. Do this and the sun truly shines from behind the clouds more often.

His name was John Roeling and he had a dream. He also had an accident that left him unable to walk, talk or move. For years he had wanted to link New York with Long Island by the building of a bridge. After his accident everyone but John figured he would give up on his dream.

And there it would have died, except that while the body of John was paralyzed the spirit of John soared like an Eagle.

The project had already begun. And now negativism surrounded him like a living thing.

So John did the only thing he could do. He ignored negativism. First he put it in the back seat, then in the trunk and finally he left it by the side of the road of life and moved on.

Paralyzed but moved on. Hopeless but hopeful he moved on. He took the one and only finger hat he could move and working out a code of communication he began to type out a messages to his wife that he wanted her to call the engineers again.

The accident was just a big bump in the road. A big bump. A massive bump as big as the Himalayas. But nowhere as big as the enthusiasm and power of the positive thinking of this indomitable man.

For 13 years he typed out his instructions on his wife’s arm. And one day his crazy vision, his unbelievable dream rose into the sky and crossed a body of water and at the moment I believe at least some angels in heaven sung a special song for such a spirit come alive.

The world had thought him mad but he knew some kinds of madness are the kinds of madness that turn a hell into heaven.
