Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na…Batman!
January 12, 2012
It really is amazing what inspires you to write. While relaxing in our hotel in London on the weekend we watched an episode of the original Batman series from the 1960′s. Amid the huge onslaught of “Kerpows”, “Thwacks” and “Biffs” that Batman and Robin inflicted on Penguin and his motley crew of baddies, I too was “kerpowed” by an unbelievable quote shared by Batman himself. These are his words: “A dream is a blueprint for courageous action”. Are you blown away by his utterance as well?
In the scene where Batman said perhaps the most prophetic comic hero words ever, he and Robin were battling with how to rid a building of bomb which would destroy the crystallised remains of the world leaders. (Yes I know this is a 1960′s storyline at it’s best!) Faced with the prospect of losing such global wisdom and leadership Batman was required to step up, to make a speedy decision and to save the day. It was his choice either way that would directly determine the outcome of the situation. Would he allow the dreams of millions be destroyed in a flash or would he rescue these great minds through brave action?
So what relation does “A dream is a blueprint for courageous action” have to you and I? Our dreams are our goals in life or business. We create goals to aspire toward and to ultimately achieve them. Each dream is unique and it only applies to the destination you desire to reach. Our dreams are our blueprint; our roadmap, our detailed plan, or our design.
And it is only through courageous action, conviction, and consistency that we will achieve our dreams. Dreams take effort and commitment. Dreams need feeding; motivation, inspiration, creativity and innovation. Dreams need you to step out of your comfort zone; to be brave like Batman and to say to yourself: “I believe I can”. Without you believing in yourself and the skills and talents you have, together with assistance from reliable, positive and proactive connections, the bomb will go off and your dream will go up in a puff of smoke!
Discover the courage you possess. Don’t hide it from yourself or the world. With your blueprint in hand, take action and “Kerpow” your way toward making your dreams a reality.
