As I think about the people in this world I truly admire and hold up as being heroes,  I NEVER see an athlete, a movie star, a politician, a musician, or anyone else whom you may encounter on the tv or big screen.  It is always the woman, man, or child who gives selflessly to help another fellow human being out...even at risk of their own safety.  This trait is POWER...This trait is GOLDEN....This trait of putting another before yourself is one of the most noble achievements anyone will ever accomplish.  It is an act done in humility, without regard for any notoriety or remuneration. It is giving up ego and returning to the reason we were put on this earth.....Strength comes in many guises.  It may be physical, it may be emotional, it may be that you were put here to be a role model on how to live a life fully no matter what hardships you encounter. We are surrounded by heroes every day and never know it; yet we idolize those on tv or movies who have no other aspiration other than fulfilling themselves. Hardships either bring out the worst in us...or the best. When we idolize those who only idolize themselves, we truly demean the humanity in ourselves.  We are MORE than a mirror for those that think they are special,powerful, or smarter than we are. We are strong and powerful because we are each unique and give in our own small ways. When we realize this.....we will know it is possible that we can be heroes too.

HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE

You can try to plan and live for the future; but that isn't a given as things change
You can try to live in the past; but that is fruitless because it no longer exists
The only real way to live is in the present...day by day...and make every minute count

Hopefully trying to work on this philosophy........  Much love!
