In Mythology, there are specific weapons that can wreck
havoc but at the same time, they define the strength of the person that holds
that weapon. Zeus’ Thunder Bolt is one of the all-time mightiest weapons and it
puts destruction into wherever he throws it but it gives him the ultimate power
over all the gods. Thor’s Hammer is the muscle weapon of Norse Mythology, like
the Sword of Excalibur; only one person is deemed worthy to hold it in his
hands and it gives him strength that excels over anything else and brings manly
power in its grasp. Poseidon’s Trident is just flat out surreal when it’s been
used at it’s maximum power, it can devour oceans, destroy ships within a snap
and puts you at a stand still to how it is unmatched by just about every other
weapon.
One of the
most underrated stories in American Folklore is that of John Henry and the
Epic Sledgehammer. In a time where race was feared and those of different
color got the shaft just for what their skin holds brought a lot of hardships,
hard ache and the struggle to live among other people. Henry brought struggle
to light by the use of his mighty hammer and taking on an obstacle that is
practically impossible to do, he turned it into triumph and the will to fight for
what he felt was the right thing to do. With the swing of his hammer, he
symbolized what the weight of the world felt like and fought with every breath
of him with swing after swing; he built hope and internal strength that has
been long forgotten. Although he was physically gifted and was a might of man,
he used the strength of his heart to conquer the demons that roamed in that
time.
The most
powerful weapon is nothing physical, nothing you can see with your very own
eyes and it’s certainly not a weapon that is to be underestimated and that’s
the power of your mind. How we use our minds determines our strength on another
scale. The way we think creates a chain reaction that pits you against the
ultimate opponent and that’s YOU!!! We build thoughts, emotions and
solving/creating problems by how we use our minds, the stretch of the
imagination is limitless and with practice; we can devour obstacles, conquer
challenges and fin solutions that have logical correction. By understanding who
you are and how we perceive ourselves and change how we think we can build
success and live the life that was meant for us. By projecting your Self-Image,
you learn to create success that brings you happiness, love, protection from
negative energy and can even create financial success with the right attitude
and using your imagination.
It’s not
something to just jump in and think it’s an instant snap of your fingers. If
you want to build your weapons, you need to step up and take it step by step by
finding what you want to do whether it’s to build strength, lose weight, build
functional muscle or even just want to build a better income; project yourself
with a thirst for a positive attitude, be organic, don’t be afraid to fail and
be responsible for what you want to accomplish. Nobody can create success for
you; no one has your body, your health or your dreams. Be bold and look to
things that give you guidance, learn what gives you purpose and how you can
make yourself into a happy and high self-esteemed person.
Watch the
movie Field Of Dreams sometime and look to the biggest quote of the movie “If
you build it, they will come.” What that truly means in my eyes is that to
truly be successful, you need to build yourself from within and they (meaning
the universe and your imagination) will come to you and guide you but it’s up
to you to make the effort.
