Will Power...
The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned, pot-bellied
coal stove. A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to
start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates
arrived. 
	
One morning they arrived to find the school house engulfed in flames. They
dragged the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead
than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken
to the nearby county hospital. 

>From his bed the dreadfully burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard
the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son
would surely die - which was for the best, really - for the terrible fire
had devastated the lower half of his body. 
	
But the brave boy didn't want to die. He made up his mind that he would
survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When
the mortal danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother
speaking quietly. The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so
much flesh in the lower part of his body, it would almost be better if he
had died, since he was doomed to be a lifetime cripple with no use at all of
his lower limbs. 
	
Once more the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be a cripple. He
would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor ability.
His thin legs just dangled there, all but lifeless. Ultimately he was
released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage his little
legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing.Yet his determination
that he would walk was as strong as ever.  When he wasn't in bed, he was
confined to a wheelchair. 

One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh
air. This day,instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair. He
pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him.He worked his
way to the white picket fence bordering their lot. With great effort, he
raised himself up on the fence. Then, stake by stake, he began dragging
himself along the fence, resolved that he would walk. He started to do this
every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside the fence.
There was nothing he wanted more than to develop life in those legs. 
	
Ultimately through his daily massages, his iron persistence and his resolute
determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk
haltingly, then to walk by himself - and then - to run. 

He began to walk to school, then to run to school, to run for the sheer joy
of running. Later in college he made the track team.  Still later in Madison
Square Garden this young man who was not expected to survive, who would
surely never walk, who could never hope to run -this determined young man,
Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile! 
 
On June 16, 1934, Glenn Cunningham ran the mile in 4:06.8 minutes,breaking
the world's record. 

His effort portrays that whatever you want to create in your life is yours
for the making. 

As long as you desire it enough and allow your will to guide you, you can
have and be whatever your heart desires. 

The only one that can put limits on our personal will is ourselves. Develop
and encourage your will to create and all the forces of nature within and
without will help you bring your desire to pass. 

Where there is a "will" I want to be in it.

 "He who is firm in will molds the world to himself."

You have powers you never dreamed of.
You can do things you never thought you could do.
There are no limitations in what you can do except the limitations of your
own mind.
