Saving The Cheerleader

So, the first series of Heroes has finished on UK TV. I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone who's not yet seen it (it's being shown again not once but twice before the week is out, so that could still be quite a lot of people), but there's a character from last week's episode that's worth a mention, even if you've never watched the show.

A little girl called Molly Walker has a very strange ability – she can track the whereabouts of any person in the world just by thinking about them.

To Mohinder Suresh, who wants to find one particular person before he can set off an explosion that would obliterate New York, that makes her the most important person on the planet – but to Noah Bennett, whose main concern is to prevent his adopted daughter (the cheerleader) from being found by those who would put her life at risk, little Molly is an enemy who's threatening his family's safety.

One person's hero is another's villain. A situation that scares one person might exhilarate another. A job that one employee thinks of as security might suffocate a colleague. An amount of money that might seem quite small to some sounds like a fortune to a lot of others.

It all depends on what the person or the situation represents to them.

It's just the same with what you want from life. It's no good someone telling you that a particular career, or to reach a certain level in it, is a great thing to go after.

If it's genuinely right for you, you won't need anyone to tell you so. If it isn't something that you really want, however far you get in it is not success - it's only an attempt to gain approval.

The problem with looking for approval is that no matter how much of it you get, it's never quite enough, because there's no amount of approval from anyone in the world except yourself that can reassure you that the path you're on is right – for you.

Every picture can be seen in more than one light. Every coin has more than just one side... or, as my father put it when someone asked him whether he's the sort of person who would describe a glass as being half-empty or half-full, replied, "That depends."

"Depends on what?" was the next question, and he smiled ironically.

"On whether I enjoy what's in it!"

Make sure your life is full of what you want, and what you most enjoy.
