Like any good mother, her desire was to have her child grow bright and bold, and to be full of good humor and wit, and to be generous and courageous and kind.
For, being such, how could anyone not have the most beautiful story?
After all, what is the code and concept of life, of living, of humanity, if it is not to find one's calling and to have that calling be greater than one's self; if it is not to pursue that calling and complete it with joyous self-respect?
What's the big idea? (Why? Where? When? Who? How?) Beyond The Hero beautiful minds stout with playful curiosity, who are not inhibited by unrestrained questions, make bold intelligent bets on Better.They thrive on action! This is deliciously tricky, especially in complex arenas where issues are inevitably multi-sided,simultaneous, have real conditions and true constraints. In order for solutions to be sustainably rendered these implementers Beyond The Hero satisfy six criticals. This takes immaculate cooperation and coordination. It takes guts. This is definitely not a cakewalk; neither is it for the mewler or faint of heart.
Our souls look back
In wondrous surprise
At how we've made it So far from where we started
- Dr. Maya Angelou
"You see things, and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were, and I say, 'Why not?'" ~ George Bernard Shaw
Tough. Invigorating. Getting it done. An awesome experience. But, you know, sometimes it takes more than a good bit to just do it. {Know-how!} And sometimes, all it takes is getting out of bed and off the jackass. {Do-now!} Whichever it is, whatever it takes, the time comes to just do it. {Decision!} Then the time goes. Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick.
Those of us Beyond The Hero are acutely aware of that rhythm. It is a beat that keeps us getting 'what matters' done - in time. Then we celebrate. Then we loop back around for new learnings. Then we grow. Fasciinating. Then we keep going. Isn't that something? Awesome.
How do you go about getting 'what matters' done - in a timely fashion?
Have you noticed any eye-openers on the road to making better and being better? Sometimes it is not the paradigm that needs a shift; one needs to get out of it. Sometimes it is not you who need adjustment, it is the paradigm that needs to be dispensed with; it is destructive, period!
Recognizing and responding in true accordance with that awakening is life-enhancing. Sometimes - life-saving! Either way the impact is real. And the consequences are inescapable. Profound. This is an episode that contributes to sorting such things out. {A Key.}
Have you noticed: big Ideas come assorted every which way? They do. And it isn't that every big idea is a solution fitted to some problem. Sometimes it is an enhancement, a difference-maker, a brand new awakening, a key to a discovery, an education, an inspiration, a who-knows!
Big ideas do not come suited necessarily for business or sports or entertainment or art or innovation alone, nor is "big" indicative of some superlative size. We do know that a big idea is all of puff if its only reality is a day-dream.
We have found that it is possible to learn 'know-hows' and 'do-nows' from big ideas fruiting in business, in sport, in science, in art, in entertainment, in experience, ergo our timely references. That decision is always up to each of us. You see things, and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were, and I say, 'Why not?' For us, the definition of big is 'making better, being better!' Along our route 'big' always seems to point one way or another to this: what world do we wantto live in (.e., for us, for those we care for, for those we will ever care for or about, and for those who care about us from ever long) while on this earth?
What about you? How do you define big? Go for it!

Giant leaps grow out from small accumulated steps and require smart bold moves.
There exists amongst us a breed BEYOND THE HERO - not some sort of stereotype - critical to the call of our moment, growing, expanding, reshaping, and refining, as is necessary for the chimes of our times - extraordinarily participatory, nurturing, nourishing, discovering, unfolding, creating and building, embracing the fullness of life, in full claim of this birthright and privilege of each and every person born on this planet.
In Part 3 of this segment we are shining a light on the navigational prowess of bright, imaginative, consequential implementers of bold ideas fruiting across life's spectrum. We are exploring, examining and exemplifying the qualities, essential habits and goodwill apopros to the betterment of our times and the bolstering of those who depend upon the best of who we are then highlighting those critical elements.
We are WIDE OPEN wholly responsible for making this world a better place.
Today's pivot QUESTION: let's say you have an idea; let's say you perceive tremendous value to those far beyond you; let's say you have no clue how to make your big idea real and the clock is ticking - tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock,
now what do you do; when?

for BETTER
Better means lives saved. Better means the air is less polluted. Better means people don't get charged for crimes they didn't commit. Better means people don't get shot. Better is worth fighting for.
Assuming one's presence on earth is to increase the quality of life, if say one accepts that to be an ultimate measure of one's fulfilled purpose (however the particulars of one's purpose in the totality of lived moments is defined). In a world that is hemorrhaging, with peoples battling various assortments of ailments, presuming that is also one's objective and subjective assessment, and that you are the one: is what you are doing now and-or proposing to do next worth, let's say, the upcoming seven years of your life should you be assured of at least that much available effort before the next significant phase of a wonderful life?
In the language of a life's career, how would you define your job function as a human? How would you design the elements of your functional parameters knowing that design is about predicting the needs of the future, implemented with resources and tools of an ongoing present?
How is your story unfolding?
Thence to be assured that "this fulfills the obligations of your existence on earth. Congratulations."
BEYOND THE HERO, the skills used along each journey of significance were honed from the hero's journey where no hero can go it alone or come through without being transformed. BEYOND THE HERO, its leaders are of a brand new DIVERSE breed, able and willing, ever learning, always preferring and seeking to optimize the best of who we are. BEYOND THE HERO, better is a happy word worthy of goodwill and best efforts.
"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." _ Mohandas Gandhi
Why not examine 'it' from a different angle? Then another!
"Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances." _ Sun Tzu
Remember: this is YOUR LIFE; only you can live it. Live out the expression of your love. That decision is entirely YOURS. Yours alone! No permission required.
Take Action
"Know what you own. Understand what you claim. Believe you can achieve what you conceive then call it by its name. Mine! The extent to which you have this clarity of mind, this purity of understanding, this strength of belief, you have the fire, the fuel, the impetus, the passion, the determination, the willpower you require to pursue and retrieve your truest desire. But do not claim what does not belong to you. It will not keep you . . . it will suffer you but for only so long."
You are valued. You are important. What you experience is important. Your intention matters. You are a whole being. You are a true wonder. You diminish yourself whenever you pit valued elements of who you are against vital elements of who you are: your intuitive self against your intellectual self, your rational self against your emotional self, your gut against your heart against your head. Don't be put at war against yourself: you are a masterpiece. An intricate being. Human!

Life: it is a dance. It gets better with practice; its music is in your heart and in your soul and in your blood and in your bones. Life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice. You have a partner – your spirit. You can have a party if you like, but choose smartly who you invite, for life – your life – is a dance. It gets better with practice, unless you stop the music or so crowd your dance floor there is no space to move or be moved within it. Explore. Yes, life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice until the dance becomes the dancer and the dancer becomes the dance and life and all of existence becomes a singular flow. Yes, life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice. Dance.

Lifestyle Is Personal
Home is a special place. Love resides there. The best journeys take you there. Hope lives there. Home leaves no question about belonging. Friends belong there. Dreams thrive there. Home is a place of forgiveness. There is no rejection there. Home is a place of rest and recuperation and rejuvination. There is laughter there. Life takes you to unexpected places; love brings you home. At home you are free to flourish. It is where you birthed your wings. Are you there yet? We live amongst viruses and bacteria: some are villains and some are monsters. Don't feed monsters. Villains are everywhere; you are ever in their sights. Be prepared: find your rhythm, stay in balance, keep your values and your vision in focus. Choose your friends wisely. And remember: no one is an island onto itself. M-hm! No one! But you can sail a ship alone. M-hm! Wait for it! Your voices aside!!!
Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.
. . .
live laugh love
. . .
let your light shine
Come, let us all be friends for once,
Let us make life easy on us,
Let us be lovers and loved ones,
The earth shall be left to no one.
Across the nation and around the world there is a long rumble.
It is a rumble so loud it strikes ready ears as a distant clap of a fierce thunder. It is a rumble so low, it rides beneath the noise of a thousand human fears; it can no longer be heard. Fear of flight, fear of heights, fear of sand, fear of snow, fear of monsters in the closet, fear of bugs in the pillow, fear of cats, fear of bats, fear of strangers at the door, fear of being lost, fear of being laughed at, fear of being stuck in the toilet bowl, fear of whites, fear of blacks, fear of browns, blues and yellows, fear of nakedness, fear of the unknown, fear of being hurt.
Smile. Live. Love. Laugh. Look. Listen. Learn. Be awesome. You are powerful beyond measure. You are not alone. You can do all things. I am you. You are me. We are one. Keep Sharing.
May our light shine on sprinkled seeds along The Journey.
