As a culture, we've been conditioned into the idea that a hero does things that the public sees and admires. Additionally, there is a prevailing yet detrimental thought that courage is something you can “get” or “build.” This very thought is what prevents people from experiencing themselves as truly courageous.

See, you already have the courage within you. It was there when you were a child, just like your other qualities, and it was suppressed or rejected by others, just like your other qualities.

The brilliance of this is that once you remove the emotional stories surrounding your courage, you become empowered to call forth your courageous self anytime, anywhere, as needed.

To be clear: The reason that you cannot build or get courage because you never lost it to begin with.

Now back to the hero theme…

If you're comparing yourself to some idea of what a hero “should” be, then that's your Inner Critic judging you and trying to keep you small and within its comfort zones. Your Inner Critic has an old, childish, outdated idea of what a hero is that is not representative of who you are today and the amazing life you deserve to live.

Rather than hold onto the cultural impressions we have about what a hero is, we are actually going to redefine what it means to be a hero…

He had every reason to give up.

And he almost did…

But as you can see from the “Before and After” picture, he didn't. While a picture may be worth a thousand words, the video in between those two pictures — a video about his journey — may very well move you to tears.

Honestly, there is SO MUCH I want to say about this video. Maybe I will another time. But I don't want to today because I was so moved by the video that I don't want to spoil it for you.

If you've ever felt like giving up — this video will move you…

If you know somebody who is thinking about giving up — this video will inspire them…

And…

After you watch this video, you'll see why it's such a great example of the possibilities that each of us humans have in our own lives.

We all have our own challenges. It's part of being human. Collectively though, we can and do overcome them… so pass this video on. Your friends and family will thank you for it. 🙂

Reincarnation? Eternal Heaven? Total blackness and non-existence? Something totally different?

No matter what we believe, there's a few basic facts about death that we all know to be true.

The first is the obvious: That we're all going to die. Yes, every single person on this planet is going to die someday, somehow, somewhere.

The second fact is less obvious…

After we die, our lives will be etched in the hearts of others. We live eternally. Forever. In other people.

That's what today's heartwarming video is really about.

It's about the relationships we forge during our lives that are so powerful they impact people even after we die.

Today's short movie is called “The Funeral.” It starts with a little bit of humor, and it quickly goes deep and gets to the heart of the matter. This video is only 3 minutes long, so please watch it until the very end.

They make the difference between a society of fulfilled and engaged people…

And mindless drones who are afraid to be different…

Who suppress their creativity…

Who forget their potential…

Who ask all the wrong questions…

And don't understand why the world doesn't operate by the rules it did when they were children.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it is simply this:

Watch this video. Then choose a new relationship with the one thing that most of us do our damned hardest to avoid.
