Growing up in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s one of the cartoons was of He-man.\u00a0 Like most super hero types his abilities were greater than the average man and he could draw upon these special abilities to overcome evil.\u00a0 This weekend we went to see the latest Thor movie (I will try to not spoil anything) and we see the powerful god of thunder struggle to fight off opposing forces.\u00a0 I enjoy these types of movies as entertainment.\u00a0 It is fun to think about being able to fly or having super strength.\u00a0 The interesting part that I have been reflecting on this morning is that the true power of these super heroes was represented by an external object but their true strength was internal.
\n\\\"heman\\\"How often in life do we let external forces define us when in reality they have nothing to do with who we are or what we are capable of achieving?\u00a0 In life we will have many different forces working against us and we will experience getting knocked down in multiple ways literally and figuratively.\u00a0 These externally forces are there to help us learn and grow.\u00a0 They do not define who we are nor do they decide what we will accomplish.\u00a0 What one sees as an obstacle, another sees and an opportunity.\u00a0 It all depends on our point of view.
\nOur mind is amazing and has the ability to accomplish anything it is given when we draw on the proper powers.\u00a0 If we give into the dark side and become negative and pessimistic, we will find exactly what we are looking for but if we are optimistic we will also find what we are looking for in the end.\u00a0 See a pessimist will fail at a task and say, \u201csee I told you it would not work,\u201d where an optimist will fail at a task and say, \u201cI guess we need to try again in a different way.\u201d
\nFailure is an event not a person, and we can never grow into our full potential without experiencing failures.\u00a0 Mistakes are required for true learning to occur.\u00a0 If you never make a mistake you cannot learn anything new.\u00a0 You will keep doing what you have been doing and keep getting the same results.\u00a0 We are created with the ability to learn.\u00a0 When we are born it is natural for us to be resilient and keep trying.\u00a0 We are blessed at birth to not judge ourselves based on our mistakes but to keep going until we become like our parents or siblings.\u00a0 We see it is possible to learn and we desire that learning.
\nWhat about now?\u00a0 If we live in the world of average we may not see it as possible to learn and improve any longer.\u00a0 Is this as good as it gets?\u00a0 No! We just need new targets in life and need to call upon the powers within to reach heights never before seen.\u00a0 Just because no one has done it does not mean it will never be done.\u00a0 If we know things can be done better, faster and even completely new things will be created, why do we settle?\u00a0 We are waiting on someone else to figure it out because they are special, they have the super abilities and we do not.\u00a0 Hogwash.\u00a0 Each of us is designed after an Eternal Father that has given us the opportunity to grow up and be just like our creator.\u00a0 We have within us each the power to accomplish miracles as defined by man.\u00a0 These mysterious powers to others may seem super natural but in reality they are natural creations.
\nGo forward today knowing you are the super hero that movies a create about not the extra cast in the background.\u00a0 You have the ability already within you to do mighty miracles if you call upon your mind and body with faith and optimism.\u00a0 Decide today that you will be defined by your internal beliefs and not external forces.\u00a0 When your day throws a challenge before you simply smile and say, \u201cby the power of Grey Skull, I have the power.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
