Comic Heroes

Last week I watched the movie ‘King Arthur, Legend of the Sword’ in 3D. I love the ‘larger than life’ effects that 3D filming allows; they challenge our concept of reality. But, as the film progresses we quickly forget that we’re wearing the glasses; 3D becomes the norm. Also. I recently re-watched the Batman series and saw the new ‘Wonder-woman’ movie – escapism at its best. There is a common theme through all these movies – good triumphs over evil as in all Hollywood blockbusters but there’s more. Each of the heroes is on a mission in which they must fearlessly deploy their unique gifts to achieve their goals. Their mission is usually unknown to them at the outset but emerges in response to events. There is an important metaphysical interpretation of all these stories. We are all individual manifestations of the Divine, possessing infinite power, which is directed by our thoughts and beliefs. This same power, by which we are formed in the womb, by which the stars of the universe were created, by which nature has been brought to perfection, far surpasses the limitations of our mortal existence – the 2D version. Our challenge is to master our skills and be channelled by a higher purpose so that we can deploy them for the benefit of all. This is the stuff that makes really good organisations stand out. There is an inspired leadership which draws the best efforts of every employee in the service of the business as a whole. We’ve all heard of the NASA janitor who viewed his role as ‘helping to put a man on the moon’ How many of us are able to see the bigger picture in our daily toils? As a Health Coach I have come to understand that there are two essential components required for client success – - They have to want their health badly enough to rise to the challenge of lifestyle change - They have to believe that improved health is possible The manner of their discovery differs but the underlying themes are consistent. When we each become our own comic hero what appears magical and fantastic becomes our reality. We have the innate power to live inspired lives and to build a world which we’ll be proud to leave to future generations.
