Not all superheroes wear capes

 

 

Superheroes are all around us even if we are not looking for them. They may come in our life for a short while or they come in our life for a long time.

Many of you really don’t know the extent of what I have to deal with and I often have a number of superheroes to get through day.

Of course not all superheroes can be positive but we really don’t know until we try. Awhile back I met a superhero through a job agency whose purpose was to help me find a job. His response was negative though and it scared me for a bit to even trust them.

My parents are superheroes with providing me with love and assurance to get through each day no matter how hard it was.

I went back to a job agency and that started great. Even though I found a job on my own, he was there to help me and to help them during my first year of employment up to when I was wrongfully let go. But that Superhero left and I got a new ‘superhero”. After a year or so I got yet another “superhero”. Again I am starting to loose trust in them.

A few months ago I found the courage to join LinkedIn. At first I was very cautious in what I said or wrote. I honestly didn’t know what others would think of me or my writings. I found some more superheroes that made me feel connected to this virtual world. They have given me the courage to talk more on the phone and to write more; to just be me. I really couldn’t ask for more.

One of these superheroes is doing more than I would ever imagine. He volunteers his time to fight fires, holds a job to find and staff companies with talent, is a superhero to both his wife and his daughter, and is a superhero to helping veterans find work. What more can you ask for?

Who is your superhero?
