How to find YOUR way

Jul 27 - by Anya Marinovich

Have you looked at the number of self-help books at your local store? Publishers keep coming up with new ways to solve everyone’s problems. As a result, we are turning into a society of people who are looking for someone else to guide them through, or tell them how to live their lives. The truth is there are as many solutions as there are people, and there is definitely not a “one solution fits all” answer.

“When a man mints coins — they are all alike, but when the Divine mints people, each of them is uniquely different even though they all come from the same mold.”

–Jewish Saying

During his interview for the “A Hero On Every Block” movie, Robert shared an experience which involved other people repeatedly coming up to him and saying: “Its easy for YOU to say, you found YOUR way…” In response, Robert noted that his only answer was: “Then find YOUR way!”

As Cathy said in her interview, we all have challenges “… I have challenges every day. Everybody has challenges every day. I am not different than anybody else. My challenges might be more difficult then some, and less difficult than others. But they are a big deal to me.”

The solutions to most challenges lie in your mental state. If your attitude and outlook on life does not scream “winner,” your ride will either be very long, very unsuccessful, or both. Cathy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis over 15 years ago. The things that most of us can do easily are a real challenge for her. Despite this, Cathy’s attitude is still positive. “I just have to figure out in my mind how I want to deal with it, how I want to do it, and then do it,” she asserts. “If we [Cathy and her husband] can’t do ten things, maybe we can only do six things. But we are going to do six things and have a great time doing them.”

The resolution of A Hero On Every Block is to always find a way. No one can give you the best answer. The only solution is the one that you can find within yourself, the one that your inner hero will whisper to you.

Hero is the Warrior of the Soul. When Hero is awakened, we are on track with our life’s purpose.
