Model Heroes and Heroines
Good morning, Live Better than a Billionaire-a-Holics!
Are you feeling motivated this morning?
I certainly hope so. I know that I am!
Heroes seem to be a little harder to come by today than they once were. We find out more than perhaps we want to know about high achievers' foibles and weaknesses.
With more and more disclosure, we run the risk of running out of heroes and heroines to emulate.
I have a suggestion: Pick elements from heroes and heroines and assemble them into new combinations of virtues to aspire to.
For example, let's imagine that you want to be a leader in social justice. You might pick the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for his passion, his courage, his speeches, and his consistent nonviolence. For his ability to withstand setbacks, develop himself under adversity, and heal wounds among his people, you might pick Nelson Mandela. For his willingness to see conflict through to the end, you might pick Abraham Lincoln. For her ability to move people with her portrayals of the evils of injustice, Harriet Beecher Stowe might be added to the list.
Before long, you've assembled a perspective on being a hero or heroine that extends beyond the vision of anyone before. That can liberate you to see new ways to create what you crave to do.
How would you assemble a model hero or heroine today for creating world peace? Feel free to send me your thoughts.
