Memorial Day – The Day of Heroes (Soldiers, Defenders…)

4 comments

Memorial Day

Most countries around the world have their version of Memorial Day to remember their soldiers, defenders, and their heroes of the past. Most are ultimately the forgotten fallen, and many will always remain the “nameless soldier“.

Heroes are Created

Most Heroes never intend to be heroes. They are born out of circumstance and chaos. You may be living next to a #hero and never know it. People can be heroes to a single person, a few people, or to many. And yes, most real heroes do not want to be recognized as a hero for doing good deeds or deeds of valor. They are the kings of the selfless act. As their laurel wreath on the mantelpiece fades and decays, they live their lives influencing others to lead the honorable life.

 

Hope and Reminiscence

Sure, hope may seem idealistic, naive, and in some ways just unrealistic. Everyone needs their heroes – a cornerstone of the community, someone to count on when things go awry, or just a belief there is still good in the world; no matter how you are set upon by others. Heroes give us words of hope. If you truly give up #hope, then you are lost. There is always room for hope. The only way you can lose hope is to give it up yourself. Hope does not cost you anything, and provides you momentum where there is none.

Never Give Up!

 

Memorial Day

Time to reflect on what has already happened, and the moment to make decisions for your future.

Use this moment to remember your past – your deeds, your triumphs and your failures.

“History tends to repeat itself”

The reason for this quote is people tend to forget their failures and only concentrate on their successes. When you forget your failures and the lessons they taught you, then you commit yourself to repeat your previous mistakes, thus; history repeats itself.

Your life is a series of choices. Each decision you make, no matter how large or small, influences and changes the direction your path will take through life. That is why it is important to learn the lessons from your previous defeats.

Hero… You have many more decisions to make.

Tread carefully,

Memorial Day – for Hope

Haiti – Hope Born From Anarchy with Mental Will Power

3 comments

There is a big message here to those that will listen.  The power of the mind can move mountains when it is focused on a common goal.  Haiti has just endured everything from looting to anarchy.  HOPE is like a virus. All it takes is a tiny bit of hope.  But, it spreads quickly and solidifies resolve.

The amount of lives lost is insurmountable.  The idea of mass graves in not a pleasant thought to digest.  They had to.

Out of the carnage, there is a continuous flow of good news right along with the bad news.  The good news is fueling hope. Despair is waning.  A monumental stream of cash flow for rebuilding Haiti and assisting its’ survivors is flowing like a river from governments and donations to the organizations that can make the difference.

The on-the-ground forces and aid groups are organizing, regulating the unrest, and assisting the Haitians to put their lives back together.  The message of hope has multiplied by the hands-on approach to helping them.

Even from afar, it is easy to see there has been quite a turnaround in attitude over the past days.  When the Presidential Palace collapsed, it symbolized to the people that their government had fallen.  The chaos that followed immediately plunged Haiti into anarchy.  Since then the government has regrouped, and the immediate dangers have been quelled.

Even though Haiti is poor, the hard life has tempered them into very strong willed people.  When the combined will of a population can be focused in a specific direction, they can move mountains.  In this case it starts with mountains of rubble.

Adding the energy of the military and the aid groups, hope has emerged and become a paramount force that will carry them forward.  Hope will prevail, even when there is nothing else.

HOPE + Will Power (Mental Strength) = GAIN

That is the reason humanity has stood the test of time.

Remember, there are plenty of lessons you can observe here.  Some of those may even be more important than this one.

The tenacity of your fellow humans is worth notice.

In economic turbulence people are losing many things. The one thing you should never lose is HOPE. Hope is the cornerstone of change. You can have a change-up just as quickly as a change-down. The key is your attitude. If you give up hope, you affect your ability to see the opportunities when they do appear. Never give up!
