Superheroes
I've been watching lots of superhero television lately. You know, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Flash, Arrow are all part of my watching regimen. I've always been attracted to this type of entertainment, both movies and television, but I've never really spent the time with the comic books - the lexicon and the center of all of these mythologies. I feel myself more and more drawn to these stories as more and more of them arrive, but I want to know the backstories and how to understand what is going on with the characters a bit more.
My fascination with superhero stories (especially the ones about "normal" people doing extraordinary things) may stem from my tendency to help others. I am not a superhero by any means, but I think that any person who chooses to focus on the benefit of others is a hero to many.
You, music therapist, are a superhero.
You spend your day thinking about others. You spend free time and money getting things and making things for others. You share your talent and expertise with people who don't always understand, but that appreciate the things that you do. When you make an effort to reach out to those who do not know about you, you have to explain your reason for being over and over again. Yet, when you think about it, you make a difference in the lives of many people every day.
There will be trials. There will be tribulations and obstacles in your path. People will not understand your passion and your direction, but you will continue nonetheless. There will be days and weeks when the role is a struggle, but there will be those times when you will feel conviction in your choice - when you will know that music therapy is what you were meant to do.
Be a superhero for someone today. Be an example, be a leader, do what you do.
You may never know what role you played in the life of another person, but you will be a hero today. I know that.
Have a wonderful day, Superhero!
(My superhero name? Here is a generator that will give you one! Here's mine...
Your superhero name is:Storm Girl
Struck by lightning as a child while trying to escape the deadliest twister to ever strike Kansas, you fell into a coma and awoke with strange new abilities!
Weather Control - Your powers give you access to the elements of the air, and control of weather - from torrential rain and hurricanes to lightning, hailstorms and snow!
Now, you protect Dogtown from malevolent aliens, while also battling the evil plans of Lord Mechanika!)

I loved this post, MJ! We certainly are superheroes :)
ReplyDeleteThe superhero name generator was a fun inclusion. Here's mine:
Commander Microbe
You were a researcher trying to find the cure to a deadly disease when a group of terrorists blew up your lab. You narrowly survived, but now find that you have been gifted with strange powers over the microbial world!
Control of Bacteria - Your powers give you control over any bacteria or microbes in your immediate vicinity, meaning you can amass an army of microscopic helpers!
Now, you protect Boston from confidence artists, while also battling the evil plans of Mad Man Martin!
Thank you so much for reading, Commander Microbe!!
