10 'cans' amidst all the 'can't' thinking ~ By Herman Cain

This column is for all of us that are beginning to lose hope with all the things going on in the world. I know, sometimes it isn’t easy to avoid despair. I know, sometimes it isn’t easy to believe that we, as individuals, can do anything to change what is going on. But always remember, you aren’t alone. We have each other, and we have God.

For those who are losing hope I offer these "10 cans":

You CAN have a dream, without knowing how to get there.

You CAN have a life, just start somewhere.

You CAN make a difference, one person at a time.

You CAN make things happen; don't expect a straight line.

You CAN be happy, if you have a hope inside.

You CAN have love in your life, but look beyond the outside.

You CAN solve your problems, but FIRST, count your blessings.

You CAN find the strength, like an eagle, waiting, and resting.

You CAN make this a better world, but life is just a minute.

God CAN lead you through it, if all your heart is in it.

– The Hermanator

Despite all the bad news, there is hope if we do what we can do.

The Gulf Coast states did not need another disaster to deal with, but the bad news just keeps on coming. People were killed when the British Petroleum oil platform exploded, along with what will be the worst oil spill in history.

As we hear the news each day about the difficulty in stopping the spread of the oil spill in the Gulf, and the impending dangers to wildlife, fisheries, businesses and the coastal states, we become more and more frustrated because there is nothing most of us can do individually to help the situation.

We can only pray for the people and agencies trying to remedy the situation that they will have the resolve and resources to stop the spread of the impact of this disaster.

Consistent bad news leads to a bad attitude, lack of confidence and, eventually, failure. Just ask any high achiever in business, sports or any endeavor of life.

Since the summer of 2008, we have been fed a constant diet of more and more bad news about the economy, the credit crisis, the housing crisis, the recession, political scandals, a dysfunctional federal government, crooked politicians, crooked lenders, crooked borrowers and crooked executives.

We are constantly being reminded that it is going to take time to fix these problems, and that there are no quick fix solutions. We know that, but the Obama administration and Congress continue to believe that they can spend us out of these problems. They can't. The math does not work.
