Become a Super Hero of Life!

Last week I had the opportunity to watch the motion picture The Green Lantern. The movie portrayed a regular human being who overcame not only insurmountable challenges, but also his fears and biases. This ultimately caused him to become a super hero equipped with superhuman powers from a sacred ring to overcome evil.

As I left the movie and walked through the parking lot to my car I saw a man wearing a black t-shirt with with the words "Super Hero Dad" written on it in blazing white ink. It got me thinking about all the people in my own life who reached the status of hero or heroine to me.

This caused me to wonder what characteristics and attitudes each of these people had in common. More importantly, I began to wonder how I could apply these characteristics into my life as well to become a super hero of life.

You don't need a sacred ring to become a super hero of life. Here are three super hero traits you can begin to apply in your life starting today.

Courage. Super hero's are a master at facing and overcoming challenges. Many people out of fear back away from challenge. Fear is a natural emotion when facing new unknown situations in life. It occurs most often when you step outside our comfort zone and face what may come with strong resolve. The sage advice is to feel that fear and move forward anyway. If you want to achieve great things in life, and to be a super hero to yourself and others, you must realize that if you want effective results there will come a time when you must face your deepest fears and reach outside your current fears and biases. Dont ignore your fears, take them for what they are - imagined probablities of what you think may occur. Be brave. Face your fears, and confidently move forward towards what it is you want or must do.

Optimism. Think in term of the positives. Super heros always have a positive outlook on their life and life circumstances. They realize that they have a 50/50 chance of being negative or positive and choose the latter. Train yourself to be optimistic in all areas of your life. Speak and act positively, and hang around with optimistic people. Listen and read positive uplifiting CD's and books. Attend life enriching seminars and workshops Your attitude gages what action you will take in life.

Self-determination. Self-determination means to take responsibility for the course of your life. Super heros take responsibility for not only their actions and attitudes, but also in creating the life of their dreams. They know exactly where they will be in 5, 10, 15, and 20 years from now. Take control of your life by taking the time to get clear about what you want out of life and make a plan of action to make it happen. Dont let real or perceived limitations keep you from achieving your best in life.

There is a super hero inside of all of us just waiting to get out. Sometimes, it takes an unexpected event to help you to bring that hero out. And sometimes, other people through a loving and patient attitude help you to see that hero in yourself.

You deserve to become a super hero of life! Take some time to develop the inner qualities of a super hero. Be courageous, be positive, and talk control of the reigns of your life so you can soar upwards and onwards towards new heights of success achievement starting today.
