Find perspective, find a hero.


I have been enjoying Sue Jeffers book 'Embracing Uncertainty'. There are bits I don't agree with but the majority of her writing really hits a chord with me.

I have just read a chapter about finding heros. The thinking being that we can continue to be inspired by others around us. We can feed off their strength through tragic situations. We can gain some sense of perspective on our own lives and worries. Finding heros can help uplift us and help us feel anything is possible.

So, I thought about finding my own hero. I remember my dad reading out a story from the local newspaper about a woman who was paralysed after a rock climbing accident. Her life pre-accident was one of adventure. She made (through great strength) her life after even more exciting/challenging/inspiring than anyone can ever imagine.

I hope this has inspired you to find your own hero.
