One of my favorite movies is Nemo, the story of a cute fish with a bad fin who made it in spite of difficutlies. I kinda of identify with Nemo. He made it even though he lost a parent and had a handicap. He had a wonderful can do attitude. He saw himself as a achiver. That's what we have to do. The bible says something similar, as a man think so he is. So think good things and have a can do attitude. In spite of it all believe that good is around the corner and it will come.
