Just Appetizers

When I was younger I loved watching batman and robin, wonder woman, bionic woman, superman and more. (Telling my age now)

There was some thing inspiring and provoking about watching action heroes. As I sat there glaring into the screen I would transport myself into one of the characters. In my mind I was developing my super strength and abilities. 

With excitement after the shows would end, I anticipated how to play out my part day-to-day as a super hero. The people I would rescue and the appreciation I would receive for risking my life for others made me tingle with excitement!!

 

Funny how those character on the screen became real to me. After watching so many episodes no one could make me revert back to believing they where characters made up by someone and not real.

In my present life I took on the super hero mentality. Able to hear danger and be there to deliver you. Use my power, influence and resource to make your life better. Place my life in jeopardy for the sake of making sure you get free from the things that wanted to entangle and destroy your life.

The life I lived was so unrealistic but no one could tell me. It was apparent I had grown up and developed my super senses to hear and know trouble and be there for those who need me. 

I found myself solving problems. Making sure I had the answer. Helping to make ways when no one else would. Put my health at risk in order to make your life a little more pleasant. Lets not forget always available when you needed me.

WOW I was a super hero. To my children I was super mom!

To my husband I was wonder woman!

To everyone else I was a mixture of the heroes….it all depends who was in danger:)

 

In my now reality I had to make some decisions on how I would maneuver through the rest of my life. Was I brave enough to admit I was limited, did not always have the answers; and at times no strength to help you solve a problem. This place of truth began a real wrestling inside of me. Tormented by the thoughts of letting others down, not being the one others called for help; and finally appearing human rather than a super hero was more than I could bear.

My life as I had known it was about to end. Decisions had to be made. Priorities put in place.

Drama! It was time to put up my suit and super hero powers and begin to face my reality. I will not be able to save everyone…some people never asked me to save them!

It was not my purpose in life to be there for everyone at the cost of my health and strength. There will always be people I must help, encourage, mentor, coach, give solutions to and more…but certainly not the whole world.

You will find me living a more balance life now. I only shift into my super hero mode when needed. Did you really think I would never move in my super power again…nope there is too much to still do.

Today I leave room for people to fall and learn; wait for some to really tell me they need help…not just show up with all my answers. My suit is still getting used, only in a wiser way.

What I have learned during is simply this, the world is filled with more action heroes than me. It’s important to allow someone else to shine and use their powers as well.

I love serving others, and that will never stop.
