Tuesday Thoughts: Becoming Your Hero

<![CDATA[

We typically identify heroes to be “Super” with an “S” or other monogram, upon their chest and in costume. Our community and news outlets, offer hero stories that usually involve grit witnessed through extremes and great sacrifices. But, ordinary people are heroes in ways beyond what one considers to be heroic. “Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint,” Angela Duckworth.

Christopher Reeve lived the life of a hero in his battle to survive his equestrian sporting injury. He was an ordinary person living heroically through adversity. Though he portrayed, Superman on screen to become a hero to many, his greatest acts of heroism were to fight for his survival and also his determination to help others.

Among Christopher Reeve’s legacy of inspiration is the following quote: “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” It may sound easier than done. But, the perseverance, of Christopher Reeve and others, shows us that we may become our own heroes with faith, strength and commitment to overcome challenges.

Friday Feeling…

<![CDATA["Fall in LOVE with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the WORLD.

– Richard Feynman

Last week, I met a government employee complaining about his job. He had negative energy. It was Friday morning and he was ready for the weekend. He continued to share that, for a period of months, he has been ready for the weekend each workday. I recommended he consider a more fulfilling job. And, I did not allow his negativity to impact me.

Sadly, his story is not uncommon. In a 2016 article, Pew Research reviewed Americans job satisfaction to determine: Three-in-ten workers say their job is “just a job to get them by.” Job dissatisfaction impacts more than the worker. It impacts the business and its customers and the friends and families of the worker. Negativity makes it likely impossible to attract positive energy.

String Theory addresses the frequency and vibration of the Universe. Energy impacts all matter. I’m not endorsing The Secret, but there is truth to the power of energy and how it impacts us. Philosphers often teach the idea of attraction found in physics and World religions. But, energy impacts every element of the Universe — including us.

Ideally, our overall wellness is positive or we believe in the power to create change. If you haven’t found overall wellness, take a moment to “Explore the WORLD!” And, you may discover your power to change your frequency and vibration.

As Richard Feynman states, “Fall in LOVE with some activity, and do it!” This rings true. Staying in a place of unhappiness lowers our vibration, frequency and wellness.

Schedules and life demands may make the idea of exploring the World or creating change seem impossible. But, your wellness is the most important part of your life. Make the time. “Believe YOU CAN and you’re halfway there.” Theodore Roosevelt
