Churchill was one of the best speakers of the 20th century. One of his famous historic speeches was in 1940. He rallied a nation with his optimistic words. He whispered to a colleague after his about the Gestapo, “And we’ll fight them with the butt ends of broken beer bottles because that’s bloody well all we’ve got!” One of Winston Churchill’s famous quotes was “The Positive Thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible”. Churchill was a decent and honorable man. He became Prime Minister because of his defiance and charm. Courtesy of Wikipedia

One of the most self-helping and positive persons in my life was my husband, Carl. He had many traumatic experiences because of lifelong health issues. A car accident at the age of 5 caused a chronic bone disease that he dealt with throughout his life. His doctors did not believe he could reach his 40th birthday. He spent three years in a children’s hospital in Elizabethtown where he had many surgeries – often experimental! His body endured so much trauma that his doctors sent him home to die. They were dead wrong! Carl’s positive mind and determination is why he lived a fairly normal life. Later on, new doctors and new methods meant more surgeries, but now tried, true and working!
Carl was an inspiration to all in our town who knew him. He invented self-help and knew he was superman, so nothing was impossible. Our six children learned well from his examples. Everyone who knew him was fascinated with the way he handled himself to do something. Despite disabilities, he tried anything and everything. He usually found a way or made a way to do what he wanted to accomplish. The results of his efforts were not always top-notch, but they sufficed and he went on to being a happy, positive person, husband and Dad! Impossible was not in his vocabulary! He magically kept people smiling! We had a very happy marriage for 56 years before he got his wings at age 80! Memories of Carl are all happy and positive!
Change takes practice, but worth our efforts! For the next 24 hours, intersect your thoughts with a positive message to yourself. Then commit to teaching yourself positivity in all you do! You will not only change your life for the better but your health is better too! You actually will be changing the lives of all those around you every single day!
