Handling Pain in a Bubble-Wrap Culture, Part 3
THE REAL SUPERHEROES
It doesn't take a superpower to be a superhero.
Marvel Comics and DC Comics have filled the world with superheroes with their superpowers. But they're not the kind of heroes the world needs. We need real people--not comic characters--who can press through pain, discomfort and fear in order to do what's right and good. Those are the real superheroes. But they are much harder to find in a culture like ours that's so addicted to comfort and safety.
What does it take to be a real superhero? In this episode I’ll reveal one secret that motivates all heroes and gives the ability to handle pain and trouble so you can fulfill your goals, keep your promises and make a difference in your corner of the world. This episode is Part Three in the mini-series “Handling Pain in a Bubble Wrap Culture.” Check it out.
