Growing up I watched a lot of movies that really focused on effort and pushing past limits. Whenever I would find myself struggling or needing a little more umph, I would lean into it. The scenes from the movies would help me find more inner strength to draw from.

These movies work because they aren’t just fantasies. They don’t disregard the work element behind achieving those dreams.

So many people get hope from movies or stories only to be let down when they don’t end happily ever after.

I’m hoping Avengers will help show me how to become a real superhero very soon ;)
