PICTURE YOURSELF

So, I was at work with a little extra time during the school day and in between tasks was drawing this Superhero character of myself.  When I was done, I started to think - "I wonder if people think I am overly conceited or just over myself because of this Superhero thing?" . . . Even the self-proclaimed title . . . "Full-Time Superhero" it could come off to many people as very self-indulgent and self-glorifying right?

As I started to contemplate this, I thought well this is definitely not what I'm trying to do and so why is it that I think this way?  How could I clarify this?  I mean, I've never seen the idea of a Superhero of one who thinks highly of himself.  In fact, I have always seen this character as the elite of the self-giving, and the pinnacle of sacrifice . . . As one always working to do good in the closest to the most absolute way.  They are not a God, yet one blessed beyond exception and have chosen to use these gifts for others.

I think the more I practice this art of drawing, creating, and writing of myself as a hero it is a self-reflection of how I still do not live up to this ideal that I have always desired being.  I think of the success books I have read, and the motivational speakers I have listened to - the practices of creating vision boards, and dream books - I think of the way many of these people say to post pictures up all around of the things you desire most and by law of attraction you will gravitate more towards them..

When I draw these sketches, and call myself Hero it is only my effort to strive to become a better server for my family, my community, and God.  I encourage you to draw, vision, and picture yourselves as heroes too.

I will never be The Symbol unless you are yourself.
