Have you met a hero? Are you one yourself? Did you want to be a hero when you were a child? I did!
I
often thought about being a hero, I even fantasized about it. One of
them was a heroic story of I climbing a wall or a tree to save a little
bird for a blond lady's child! I repeatedly had that fantasy in mind and
it felt great, she was so pleased when I gave her the little bird.
I
am wondering is it the middle Eastern culture that creates that crave
in us? Is it because we are so invisible in our big families that the
only way to be seen is for us to be heroes? All I know is that many of
us subconsciously are still doing that. Unless we are heroes we are not
good enough for our mothers or fathers. Sometimes we jeopardize our
health but we keep struggling.
What if we stop and
reflect, examine the situation and see if we are doing whatever we are
doing for the sake of loving it or, are we still in fantasy.
I
have never been able to climb a tree or a wall and have never saved a
bird. I have gone hiking and that I did for the sake of loving it. That
blond lady I always wanted to please by the way I figured out was my
beautiful blond, blue eyed mother to whom I felt invisible. She saw me
in her capacity, I couldn't see neither feel it.
The
thing is that until and unless I see myself I will remain invisible to
the world. It is good to begin to see ourselves for who we really are.
Seeing one self is the beginning, because we are One! And when we begin
seeing others we will see different aspects of ourselves in others.
Now
bare with me. God forbid we see negativity and darkness in others, that
as well, is in ourselves. But, when we see virtues and light in
others,the good news is we have them in us too.
Today I
wanted to knock at the door of a person, I was standing there hesitant,
finding 100000 reasons of why I shouldn't knock at his door. But I
finally did. Do you think I should feel like a hero? At least for today?
My mind was stuck, my soul took over. I, compare to myself, one minute
before and after I knocked that door, was earth and heaven!
My
point is if we don't see ourselves and if we do not recognize what we
do everyday, if we do not bring ourselves to account each day, both with
good and less good deeds we keep expecting others to encourage or give
credit to us. And when they don't we get frustrated.
Find the hero in yourself every evening and identify small heroic acts in others, it is cool!
