Come Forward: June

Cinderella Man is one of those movies that I have heard about since it came out, but never actually watched it. I finally got the chance to see it and now I get it. 

I really is a great movie. 


James J. Braddock is a mind who loves to box. However, in the year leading up to, what would be come, World War II his is down on his luck. He boxes, but doesn't have a steady job. The fights aren't paying him enough to keep his family together and keep a roof over their heads. Eventually, he license to box get revoked, and he is left without any choices to keep his family afloat. He also has to hide the fact that he has a broken hand from the dock managers, or they won't let him keep the job he has. 

When the kids get sent away, due to sickness, he begs the people he used to fight for for money to get the heat back on in his house, so his kids can come home. 

The kids come home and his luck starts to slowly change. His old coach comes and says that he can have him come back and do one more fight. It wasn't going to be anything crazy, but it would be able to get him back on his feet, and give him one more chance in the ring. 

Well Braddock had other plans, but he didn't know that until he got back in the ring. Once he was there there was no getting him out.

Here is what I love about this story, that also helped me to get back on the big project. Is do the small things. 

I got so far off the project that I have been working on that I didn't know what to do. I thought that maybe I wouldn't be able to come back to it, or follow through in the way that I had been. However, I just started small and wrote what I know I wanted to write for that next part. I didn't plan on goin crazy, but I started with a small thing and before I knew it I was right back to where I was before. 


Sometime we get so overwhelmed b how big the project, or problem, is that we forget that we don't need to tackle everyone all at once. We can start small and work out way up.
