Heath Shields - AKA SUPER HEATH

There are so many movies about super heros: Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Watchmen, Wonder Woman, Smallville, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Daredevil, Ultraviolet, Fantastic Four, Blood Rayne, Hulk, Ironman and Kick-Ass.
I suspect our love of superhero’s stems from our desire to be more than we think we TRULY ARE… and then projecting that “IDEAL” into a persona to idealize.

The problem with this fascination with ’super’ ness is that we feel that it’s something we can’t be or strive for or even attain. Of course we can’t have the strength of a speeding train or stop bullets with our eyeballs, but I do think we limit ourselves by putting boundaries on ourselves without really testing … I think I can. I’m a strong advocate of ‘you can do anything you put your mind to.’ I’m seriously not going to argue that if I wanted to fly bad enough I could… but I do suggest that you stop thinking about your boundaries of “comfortableness” with your capabilities and start EXPLORING those things that may seem highly improbable or impossible.

For example, have you ever NOT tried Chess because you didn’t think you were “SMART” enough? That’s a self limiting belief. TRY CHESS! Another example, do you avoid doing something because as a child you had a bad experience (like Karaoke, running, or even shooting for a new career in something your interested in doing?) TRY IT NOW… it’s never to late to use the time you have left on this planet to explore, expand and become your own inner SUPER HERO.

Uncle Ben always said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” I interpret that to mean that you are FULLY RESPONSIBLE for your own success or failure. You cannot blame anyone for your choices (which have consequences). I’m talking about the day-to-day problems you encounter when trying to deal with all the normal folks and making choices that REFLECT GREATNESS… SUPERNESS.

It all starts in your mind. Your mind is a SUPER computer and what you think about and focus on will manifest itself as a view or belief. If struggling with the DESIRE to do something that’s not so SUPER, then remember the words of my ZEN MASTER Niki (aka Sharon Jacobs Pieters) of Nikifit. She once told me “You choose the outcome when you choose the action. A mature person makes choices that align with their goals an idiot does what they want without considering the consequences. Then later they sprial into misery of never accomplishing goals due to their own poor choices and end up blaming everyone else because their are unhappy with life.” I strongly feel that being a SUPERHERO has everything to do with setting VERY HIGH attainable goals and aligning your actions to support your goals. (e.g. going to the gym, trying a new hobby or exploring a new job etc.) There is a super hero in all of us. Tap into your inner greatness and keep it plugged into your daily actions and you will SOAR, CONQUER, and ACHEIVE ALL KINDS OF GREATNESS!
