The Hero Superman is known for saving the day. He is world renown for being the hero of all time. We all know those romantic/death defying scenes where Lois Lane hangs at the point of death only to have the man of steel swoop down at the last moment to rescue his most beloved. Comic heroes, like Clark Kent are often admired because they are valiant for truth and justice, despite the fact that they may be risking their very lives. In the end, our super heroes receive the praise because the people are spared, evil has been extinguished, and life returns to normal in Metropolis, and in every other comic land. So many individuals, like those superheroes, desire to be people, who do what is right; thereby, making a difference in their families, businesses, and communities. Despite the best intentions, however, the circumstances of life often get them distracted. Many individuals start out with have big dreams: having a strong family, successful business, and flourishing neighborhood, but when they see the looming obstacles ahead, they grow weary being in the arena. Their exhaustion sucks away their energy because things are taking too long. (Having anything good requires much work). It is not as they expected things to be. Besides, this is where they get ridiculed, interrogated, and rejected by men, so being popular and understood eventually becomes the higher priority. Consequently, being the hero becomes a dim possibility. If you have experienced these woes on your way to ‘herodom,’ be encouraged that if you refuse to give in or up despite all obstacles, you will win. Although, a bit marred and bloody fighting in the battle, recognize that the sacrifice is worth it. You will find that ‘Super People,’ are still needed in every aspect of life.
