Hero

     A hero to stand strong and mighty may actually only be a small boy fighting for his life with cancer. The strongest people are the ones that we naturally perceive the weakest. In humility there is greatness. In humbleness there is strength and honor. We all have been in situations where we want to be heard. We want to be the “squeaky wheel” if you will. We are all in the world and just want to be seen, to make a difference, to survive. This life is not about what we have, it is not about how much we own, let’s face it, possessions aren’t about what we have in our pockets or in our bank accounts or even our property. Our possessions can be entirely found in our hearts. Life is about the journey and about the differences you make along the way. In my earlier blog post, I stated that words have the power to kill someone or build someone up. It is very important to realize that in our lives, our entire existence the sole reason for our creation could be one moment where you make a difference in someone’s life. If you miss the moment you were created for, there is not another shot, there is not another chance. You will simply do the best you can. This is not meant to be depressing because it really isn’t. We all have a purpose, a lot of times we don’t see it because life is allowed to become something other than what it was meant for and it overshadows everything else. What I mean by this is simply, live every moment like that was the ONE moment you were created for. It will be extremely hard, there will be challenges, if you mess up simply stop, take a moment and get back up and keep trying because life is not about how much one has, what you wear, or what you drive. Life is about the difference you make. What is the good of having everything? If you can obtain riches and property will that make you happy? No, the most depressed people in the world are the ones with the most simply because they are trying to fill a void in their lives and as much gold and material things they buy they simply can’t fill the void. There is nothing wrong with having dreams and goals, they are good to keep one grounded, we simply should remember the real reason we are all on the planet.

    Take a moment to reach out to someone on the street that you don’t know. We have all heard, “Smile, it makes people wonder” I would rather say, “ Smile, It’s contagious.” I know people that have the most beautiful smile on the planet but can’t seem to muster it for whatever reason and it’s incredibly heart breaking. Love those next to you, hold them close and dear. Tomorrow is not promised and yesterday is easily forgotten. Live your life for what it was created for.
