I came across recently upon a very nice quote, which sparked my attention. It is a quote of Winston Churchill. He said "I am easily satisfied with the very best". I took a deep breath and started to think.
In our society most people settle. It is easy to give in to peer pressure and lose one's individual identity. In a puddle of conformity, it is rather odd to see someone unstained. Our flock sense makes us want to adhere to social norms, even if it makes us completely unhappy. It all starts from an early age and it continues until we die. Why do we do that? How are the exceptions different?
For you to be the neon bright pink sheep in a monochromatic flock, you ought to be brave. And courageous. Having strong goals and values motivates us. Having the right energy and the right "why", we are capable to move mountains. For ourselves, for a lover, for a family, for society. Being a modern hero requires a lot of character and willingness to be perceived as odd, weird, different, antisocial. Those who revolutionised the world in their field of expertise did not fear temporary social exclusion or prejudice. They pursued their dreams and they ended up fulfilling them. The power of the mind is infinite. The power of two minds or more working for a common goal is a force to be reckon with.
I strongly believe that most heroes need solutions rather than a pat on the back "you go get'em". Declarations are ok, if that is the primary language of the hero. But usually acts of service and solutions help more a person dealing with an issue rather than the old cliche on standing on the side and cheering up. The hero is already cheered up by default. He does the job of self motivating brilliantly! What it would add real value to the struggle of someone would be the genuine offering of solutions. An intellectual approach, a mind to think matters from a perspective which the hero might not have. That is indeed something more important in any battle :actions, not words. Ideas, not flattery. Active mental help for new ideas, not applauding from behind.
A pat on the back after the battle was done will not touch anyone, but a genuine effort to make a mental switch and think of solutions for a hero in battle, well, that is just something most would remember. In a battle, who will a soldier remember? The ones who stood on the side screaming " go go, you can do it", or the ones who actively showed an effort to help? I am sure we all know the answer. I do.
Everyone spoils the hero with lovely words without noticing the wounds from their heart. It is ironic how most people think that a hero needs more praise instead of more compassion and a good advice, a sense he is not alone. But the braves never show they need it. So I think it requires great emotional intelligence to be capable to offer a person with a fighter spirit the right kind of help in distress.
I believe more in what a person does rather than in what they say. Words are easy to throw away, with words you can promise the moon and back and hope the other does not catch your bluff. But actions speak the loudest. Actions show the best or the worst in people. And as Churchill said, a hero will always be satisfied with the very best. I am more than sure that a pat on the back and sweet empty words would never qualify as the very best. Not for this hero.
Have a fantastic day and toodle loo!

Personally, I'm in a situation where I can really feel what you are saying. My brother is trying to put an end to a family crisis, which has been with my father and his siblings for many years, and obviously it's about money and stuff. So, what my brother needs right now is another mind to give solutions and help.
!ENGAGE 20
Exactly. People need more than cheering up. People need solutions.
Indeed!
ENGAGEtokens.A lot of the worlds hero’s go unnoticed and don’t do it for the recognition case in point mr satoshi who gave us Bitcoin
Looking cute in your pink dress BTW
True. Heroes get late recognition. Thanks hihi , I always love a compliment:)
I agree with every single world, I hope this post encourage people to take actions. The world needs that. Great post!
Hey! Thanks so much for reading! Action is the only way to put your money where your mouth is sort of speak.
Good picture of you. Cheeky bugger! Lol.
Hihihi thanks. Always proud of my in shape dimples😂

Great post! Yes, I think we will always have around the “words people” and the “action people”. It is up to us to know how to recognize whom is healthier to keep around.
Our different time zones never let me reading and watching you live.
but I'm always looking forward to enjoying what you post.
Hey! Thank you! I am more of an action person. I love and appreciate kind words, but after a short while, I need the words to be backed up with action. You know that saying put your money where your mouth is.
