If you haven't, it's based on the life of surfer Bethany Hamilton who lost an arm in a shark attack during one of her training sessions. At the time of her accident, she was a quickly rising surfing star. The world was her oyster and she was looking to be a shoe-in for championships. The movie is about her battle back after the shark attack. After her recovery period, some surfing setbacks, and some personal growth (for more details, just see the movie people ~ it's a good one!) she decides, once and for all, that she would reenter competitive surfing ~ with one arm. At this point she has a conversation with her dad to ask for his help.
"It won't be easy", her dad states.
To which she replies ~ "I'm not looking for easy. I'm just looking for possible!".
Today, I liked being reminded that I can handle hard when I know it's possible.
I wanted to remind you too.
