"Greatest living miracle in the world!"

"You are the greatest living miracle in the world!" (from my book)
No one else in the world has your exact eyes, hair, fingerprints, personality, or DNA. The odds of your being born into the specific person and personality you are have been estimated at one in 225 billion.
You are the most unique person in the world.

By the age of seventy, the average human heart will have beaten twoand-a-half billion times. Your heart pumps over fifty-seven thousand gallons of blood every month. The heart is an amazing organ! There are people alive today who have lived 115 years—you do the math....
Suffice it to say that we are each a phenomenal working mechanism that still
cannot be duplicated.

No matter what our financial status at this particular moment, whether we have fifty cents to our name or $50 million, each one of us is an equally great miracle in the world.

We all may say we are special, but do you believe it with all your heart?

You are the greatest living miracle in the world. Once you realize this, you will begin to appreciate just how very special you really are.

Your eyes, if we could place value on them alone, are worth at least a billion dollars to a person who can’t see. Your hearing ability and your ability to stand up and walk are awesome blessings.

The question is, are you acting like the greatest living miracle in the world?
Each of us was created by God. A true miracle took place in those nine months of gestation in order for you to be born. Now think about the following question very carefully:

If God presented Himself to you right now, and He just stared at you without saying a word, just studying you for a few precious seconds, would you feel proud about your accomplishments thus far in life?

Would you feel that you have used the miracle of your life to the best of your ability, or would you feel that you have cheated God, slightly or drastically, in return for the miracle He allowed to be performed through your birth?

What if, just possibly, we do live on in a special afterlife? What if we are left to reflect upon our lives in minute detail, second after second, and we must ponder this life for eternity? I don’t know about you, but I already want to accomplish much more. You see, I do believe there is an afterlife. I also believe that all your relatives, friends, and acquaintances who have passed on to this afterlife are observing you, rooting for you,
and anxiously waiting for you to achieve greatness.
YOU ARE THE GREATEST LIVING MIRACLE IN THIS WORLD! Don't ever forget that!

You don’t have to be brilliant to have brilliant ideas and outcomes

At the age of nineteen, a Russian, Igor Sikorsky, almost had a working model of the first helicopter. By the age of forty-nine in 1940, Sikorsky’s successful VS-300 became a model that others based theirs on, and Sikorsky was considered the father of the helicopter.

At the age of thirty-seven, Mary Anderson had the first patent for a windshield wiper. Her goal was to clean snow, rain, and dirt off car windshields years before Henry Ford’s Model T automobiles were in production. On a visit to New York City in 1902, Anderson got the windshield-wiper idea while on a trolley car whose front window could not be kept closed because sleet made it impossible to see through it. 

In 1829, at the age of thirty-seven, William Austin Burt invented the typographer, the predecessor to the typewriter. He worked at that  time in the Michigan territorial legislature and later became a county Circuit Court Judge.  

A fifteen-year-old grammar-school dropout from Maine invented an important and useful item. In 1873, while he was ice-skating with a new pair of skates, Chester Greenwood’s ears were very cold. He went home and asked his grandmother to sew some fur onto wire shaped in the form of ears and attached to a metal band. Thus, the first set of earmuffs! The rest is history. Greenwood would ultimately establish a factory and produce earmuffs of a style still in use today.  

Was Chester the most book-smart child of his day? No. But Chester was driven to greatness by dissatisfaction. He was dissatisfied by his present situation and was motivated to the action of changing it for the better. Initially, Chester probably had no intention of becoming an inventor whom the world would notice and recognize for something quite useful. Chester merely wanted to keep his ears from freezing.  

Many other people before 1873 had freezing ears, but they did not have the foresight and drive to work at the problem without stopping until they fixed it.  

We each have the ability to excel. We can be great, and we can each be driven to fix a problem, right a wrong, or invent the seemingly impossible invention. Our mind can handle anything that is requested of it. But do we want something so badly that we will not stop until its completion?
 
Will we be driven so intensely that we think about it endlessly?

Let’s each learn to develop that powerful drive, that positive mental attitude needed to succeed.

Do you want it badly enough? Because, you know, you have wanted something badly enough in your past that you refused to give in until you achieved success. It’s all in the programming

of that inner mind, that subconscious mind, that works magic whenever it is impressed strongly enough by the importance of a special goal.

Is There Gold at the Foot of the Rainbow?

I didn’t know enough to quit. I was a dreamer who believed in the gold

at the foot of the rainbow. I dared to go where wise ones feared to tread.

—King Camp Gillette (1855-1932), Inventor

The gold at the foot of the rainbow—what a great analogy. The great inventors and highly successful have the ability to focus on the gold at the foot of the rainbow. They have vision. They have fortitude. They keep their minds focused on the finish line, not on all the obstacles

they encounter along the long, winding, and bumpy road to that finish line. The bumps and failures don’t even faze the tremendously driven person. The failure is almost welcomed because the successful thinker knows in his heart that he will achieve success—it is only a matter of time.

So, throw whatever distractions and obstacles you can at me, because I will prevail.

Highlights From John's Book: "The Power Of Being Different"
"The first step in bringing about positive change is to admit that you want to change. Be specific about what you want to change. Will power is a tremendous tool. Once a person bec...omes determined to do something, and blocks out all external negative thoughts, that person usually succeeds in his or her desired goal.”

"People who are nonchalant about life are insulting their parents, who may have scrimped and saved, worked extra jobs to put them through school.”

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. --Thomas Jefferson”

"The secret to change is, first, to tell yourself that you want to change. Tell yourself every day you want to improve something in your life. Work on small goals that lead to your greater goals.”

"We have it in our power to convince anyone to do what we want them to do as long as we believe without a doubt that it is in his or her best interest to do it.”

"They buy only because I disturb them.”

"William Patterson: Energy and time are precious, limited entities. Therefore, you need to use them wisely, focusing on what is truly important."

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. --Vince Lombardi Football Coach (1913-1970)”

“There are two days in every week about which we should not worry - two days which should be kept free from an apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, its aches and pains, its faults and blunders. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said; yesterday is gone! The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow also is beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow’s sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise! Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn. That leaves only one day - today.”

"When you are successful, people will notice the difference.."

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. --Henry David Thoreau Author/Naturalist (1817-1862) Be Different”

"John Quincy Adams said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

"Do more than exist, live. Do more than touch, feel. Do more than look, observe. Do more than read, absorb. Do more than hear, listen. Do more than think, ponder. Do more than talk, say something. --John H. Rhoades Edgar Allan Poet/Philosopher”

"Today is the only day to live, to dream, and to act. The present time is all you have as your “guaranteed time.” You need to say to yourself, “I cannot allow my dreams and goals to lie dormant inside me. From this day forward, I will write down all the things I want to accomplish. I must plan and set into motion the actions that will accomplish my great goals.”

"You can excel at anything, but you must be willing to make the tough choices, and put forth the extra effort.”

"The secret to change is, first, to tell yourself that you want to change. Tell yourself every day you want to improve something in your life. Work on small goals that lead to your greater goals.”
