Everyday Superhero

We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up...discovering we have the strength to stare it down. Eleanor Roosevelt

What's a hero? Anyone who has the courage and fortitude to stare at what is seeking to intimidate and looking it up and down and then tackling it. It doesn't matter what the thing is because a hero is one who conquers. Do not feel the pressure to conquer overnight, it will take time. The best heroes are ones who allow the process to happen and allow complete victory. Rush it and you'll miss important steps. Rush it and you'll think you don't have what it takes to take it down. But you do, you have what it takes. And I do, I have what it takes. Let us become heroes because we are conquering those things and people in our lives that seek to intimidate.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
