You may not know this, my Friends, but each and every one of you are living an absolutely EPIC adventure … Each & every one of you is tempted every day to take care of yourself first & foremost — to strive for wealth & comfort & pleasure & power (even if it means hurting others to get them), AND each & every one of you is constantly given the opportunity to choose differently.

And this is what makes our lives so EPIC — this is the “soundtrack” that is not-so-subtly accompanying our every moment; a score of inspiration & intrigue; always encouraging us (see, in-Couraging us) to make selfless choices — to transcend our primitive, selfish instincts and sacrifice for the betterment of others instead; to be Kind instead of lashing out in “self-defense”, to be generous instead of “being responsible with our money”, to be gentle & uplifting instead of critical or condemnatory or callous …

This beautiful “soundtrack” is often hard to hear, of course — often drowned out by the raucous clamors of fear & anger & hope & desire — and yet it is always there nonetheless; always there within us; calling us to be better than they say we can be — better than they say we should be — better than they say we are.

Well, my dear Friends, I’m here to remind you that your “soundtrack” is who you REALLY are … I’m here to remind you that you are amazing and that you are courageous and that you are kind and that you are moral and that you are important … I’m here to remind you that you can be the Hero of your own life’s story .. And I am here tio remind you that all you have to do to BE that Hero is listen for your “inner soundtrack” — and act accordingly.

Peace to ALL … S
