Modern Heroes
I believe that everyday and everywhere we look we have the opportunity to see modern day heroes and modern day chivalry being performed. Some days more than others, some less; it largely depends on what you focus on.
Some motivational speakers will tell you to “ignore the weeds in your garden” and only focus on the good plants of your garden. This is a better approach then just complaining and wondering, “why did these weeds happen to me?!?” But in the words of Anthony Robbins, “just pull the weeds out and keep gardening.”
What I’m trying to say is there will always be evil and wrong in our world, just as there will always be good and right. Unfortunately, we can’t pull the evil and wrong out of the world as easily as if they were weeds in the above analogy, but if you find yourself constantly focusing on the negative side of things, stop and ask yourself why?
Why not focus on the good, the positive, the lovely? The negative side is worth acknowledging and being aware of, but focus largely on the good in life and everything we have that brings us happiness, joy, security, and more.
I’ve begun a new, hopefully weekly, blog category for About-Denverco.com. In these Modern Heroes, I’ll highlight ordinary people just like you and I, who focus on the good in life to accomplish extraordinary things, to fight for justice, to work for peace, etc.
Any suggestions for who might fit into this category is more than welcome. I have a strong interest and passion in people who strive to do what is right, good, moral, and help others, so I will be happy to interview people to be posted on my blog. Only requirement: they live in Denver, since this is a Denver blog!!
