My Hero's Haven't Always Been Cowboys With White Hats

Lessons From A High School Dropout

My hero’s in life began with guys like Elvis and Johnny Cash. My attraction to Elvis was the story of a poor kid rising to fame from very humble beginnings, his style, his music and how he held such a commanding presence inside every auditorium he ever stepped into. My admiration for Johnny Cash was from learning how during his early years, he struggled with drugs and alcohol. Then went on to become an international inspiration to others as he shared his music that was instilled deep within his heart. I have always admired the guy or girl who battles demons, overcomes poverty, discover their gifts and move to fulfill their dreams, out of a somewhat hell many often create like myself.
When looking for hero’s, I have a scale that challenges the measure of man!
I didn’t hold much interest in the common things of life. Common to me is lame and boring, I was attracted to those who shared a gift they discovered from deep within their soul and not necessarily from common backgrounds.
It is time we travel further down the discovery of the hero’s “Road Less Traveled”.
My first hero to reflect on is my father, but we often do not recognized this until we reach into the age of our thirties when we recognize these qualities. So be patient, your hero is down the road a little further, just keep walking.
Think about this, if we are willing to look back into our lives and contemplate events that have taken place in our lives which moved us in a special way, we will often find these people walking on the road less traveled. This can provide the opportunity to learn valuable lessons from them. My father was the man who did not hold onto judgement, so my past was never brought up unless he was recognizing my choices and giving me wonderful accolades time and time again. Never did he judge me for my actions. He took the high road every time and was always inspiring me to keep up the great work. The greatest gift my hero father gave to me was unconditional love, and the same unconditional love to each of his six children.

Hero’s can often be excellent cooks! My mother is also on this list of hero’s as I refer back to the two books Lessons In Truth and Healing Letters which she intuitively mailed to me with an understanding that they could help me on my walk. As you read in chapter one how those books lifted my heart to an awakening, where I truly discovered I could read and with enough effort in pushing through I could comprehend the meaning of a story if only I would keep reading it over and over again and again. More importantly those two books lead me to discover my spiritual walk that my soul recognized like I had known this all along. Finding our walk in life often comes through the little synchronicities of life. Passing these events off in our minds as a coincident with a hidden meaning like “as luck would have it” just doesn’t fly with me and never did.
People often tend to simplify how these occur which discounts them, rather than look for the divine connections that bring powerful moments together. Synchronicity to me is a word we should be speaking into the young minds, so that in our future we eliminate the passing off these powerful events as “happen chance” and embrace the full power of how God aligns all this to take place.
Often our Newtonian minds mislabel the Devine as happen chance rather than give full credit to the source who created all things.
A little counseling never hurts anyone, so I now introduce you to my earthly angel and hero Irma Froe.
