If we live under a handicap - and who does not - let us not pity ourselves. The tragedy is not to be found in the handicap but in our inability to to live within the margins of our strength. For even within our limitations there is an opportunity to improve and find contentment. We shouldn't be dissatisfied with what we have not, but rejoice in what we have. The secret of rising above rather than being defeated by our handicaps, of being victors instead of the victims of circumstances, is to be found not in rebellion - but in adapting and making the most of situations that confront us.
