Everyone has talents regardless of his dilemma, but God never leaves us stranded. If life hands us a problem, Solutions are within our abilities pending on how motivated we are to use them. Some see ill health as a pediment, others see handicap as an ultimate pediment towards achieving one’s dream.
If this is true let’s look at a man like Milo C. Jones, Milo was a farmer from Wisconsin, who operated a small farm, although he worked hard he was unable to yield more than his bare necessities for himself and his family. Year after year, Milo grew older and one day Milo got struck with extensive paralysis and was confined to bed. His relatives and friends thought that this was the end of it and that Milo will live un-happy forever, specially that his paralysis was incurable.
Milo needed to secure his family, he knew his body was paralyzed but his mind was unaffected, Milo then got to meet the most important person in his life his magic talisman and with PMA he saw clearly that he needed a plan to convert his creativity into reality, he then counted his blessings and discovered how thankful he should be to have his family around him, and that in these blessings lies his plan. So, he gathered his wife and kids and revealed his plan. “I am no longer able to work with my hands, so I decided to work with my mind. You will all take the place of my hands, and let’s plant every tillable acre of our farm in corn. Then let’s raise pigs and feed them the corn, and slaughter the pigs while they are young and tender and convert them into sausages. Then we can package them under a brand name. We’ll sell them in retail stores all over the country”, and then he laughed “They’ll sell like hot cakes”. And they did sell like hot cakes !
In a few years the brand name “Jones little Pig Sausages” became famous all over the nation, and Milo C. Jones lived to see himself a millionaire and became a happy man because he was useful.
