I don't want to be "SUPERMAN!"
I want to be "ERIC!"
Have you ever had a child tell you who they are? Having three children I can say that "I HAVE!" It is, for me, an "AMAZING" experience. An experience that I don't ever recall experiencing with an adult.
Recently while cutting my youngest boy's hair, I went to place a towel over his shoulders and around his neck. The towel was to keep the hair from following on to his back an shoulders. He had begun to itch, and twitch, and movement isn't the most helpful thing while cutting hair.
Anyways, as I drapped the towel over my son, my wife, while taking
pictures...;-), said "look your Superman!" Her motivation, keep my son's attention and interest while I was cutting his hair.
"I AM ERIC!"
Well, my son quickly said "I don't want to be Superman, I want to be ERIC!" Yes, Eric is his name.
Eric has done this ever since I can remember. Anytime someone suggests that he is either a Super Ninja, a Power Ranger, or something similar he is quick to correct them "I am not a...I am Eric!"
This is something I want him to "KEEP WITH HIM" for the rest of his life!
What do you let "others call YOU?"
What do you "call YOURSELF?"
Are you inspired or motivated by what others call you or even what you call yourself? Think about it for a moment. If you felt about yourself like Eric feels about himself, "what would be different?"
Do you enjoy being YOU?
Have an AMAZING day!
With love,
James
