One Impenatrable Force

So, for those of you who don't know 300 is one of my all time FAVORITE movies ever, and as I was at a creative block yesterday I decided to watch it, since it was home waiting for me fresh from amazon after my vacation.

Besides all the sexy Spartans (sorry guys) there are some very inspiring lines in this movie (no, really).  One that stood out to me was "...we fight as one impenatrable force, each man protecting the soldier next to him...". Now for those of you who haven't seen 300, the king (Leonidis (drool) sorry again fellas) was explaining to a hunchback why he couldn't become a Spartan. His deformity wouldn't allow him to raise his sheild high enough to protect the soldier next to him.  (See google for history on Sparta and how they raised their sons, good stuff!!)

Well, when I heard that line a light went off in my head.  I mean when you think about it, isn't that what any strong person is? One impenetrable force?   When you think of all the things, the potentially negative things that we come across everyday we have to be impenetrable (looking in thesaurus for synonym, you wouldn't believe how hard it is to type this word).  If we let everything someone said to us affect us we would be a walking pile of skin and mess. 

You know the routine, you walk out the house knowing you are THE FLYEST THING WALKING.  You have your head up high stepping just right, music blasting in the car, smiling and waving and out of nowhere somone feels the need to rain on your parade.  You have two choices, you can realize that the sad little person probably just let out a cry for help and sympathize because you may have once been in that place, or you can stoop to their level.

The impenetrable force would just ignore this mishap and understand that everyone is not on the frequency.  Don't be the cat that eats the mouse.  Let that mouse go, they need help honey.  You my friend are going to pray for that person and hope they get the help they need, hop in your car and keep it moving. 

Another thing I wanted to point out is the word ONE.  Sure, it's a number but alot of people fail to see the strength in it.  So you are just one; but everything starts from one.  Just one smile change someones day, one phone call, one hug, one kiss, that one special person (for those that have one).  And most importantly there is ONE GOD who is our creative force, our energy, our source of all things beautiful and of course, pretty.

Love Always
Stay Pretty
