the idea for this blog came from a book called "change your questions, change your life" by wendy watson nelson. in one section she poses this question...
if you were the director of the movie of your life, who would you cast yourself as:
the victim?
the survivor?
the hero?
interesting concept, huh? i think we've all played each part at different times in our lives, but how do you want your story to end?
will you be the victim to all of life's unfairness?
will you have survived life's shortcomings and imperfections?
...or will you emerge the victor--the hero--who conquers all (or most!) of the challenges of life?
the fantastic thing about life is, while we cannot control what happens to us, we can control how we handle the trials, hardships and challenges in the script of our life.
he·ro [heer-oh] noun..
1. a [person]of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
simply making it through life is a brave act indeed. when we can have courage to stand up for goodness, to do what is right, to love those around us, to give service to others, to brighten someone's day, to make this world we live in better.
to be happy.
to be grateful.
that's heroic to me.
so remember: you’re the director. what role will you cast yourself in…the victim? the survivor? the hero?
be a hero.
