Becoming a Hero

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This halloween my two friends and I were all the hero Superman.  We thought it would make an easy and fun costume, which it did. : )  Staying dressed as a “hero” for a day was quite fun.  Here are 2 quotes on heroes that meant a lot to me.

~ A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. -Christopher Reeve

~ The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. -Felix Adler

I was just an ordinary individual dressed up as a hero, but I hope that I can become who these two quotes describe as true heroes.

Boring History, Fun Imagination

In class history is some thing I do not like. Many people LOVE history and want to here more. History can be cool in a way for some people and I support you if you like history, But I kind of like using imagination on something MAGICAL! Perhaps, Secret powers, vampires, leprechauns, or something fun like that, or even some ADVENTURE! I finally found a good series that I really like. Its not exactly MAGICAL, but it is very adventerous. It is called The Series of Unfortunate Events. Look it up!

Learning to ride

       At a point in our childhood we all learn to ride a Bike. And of course we start off with the training wheels. And After a while your dad or mom tells you to try it without the training wheels. You start to try it with Dad right behind you holding on to the back of your bike and telling you that you’re doing great. After a while your dad lets go, and you go a few feet and fall. You don’t ride your bike for a few days thinking it’s cursed right? Then finally you decide to try again. You want to learn how to ride the bike with only two wheels. Your dad goes back out with you, this time your wearing a helmet and pads. Dad runs with you while you pedal.  Soon your riding it like you were born to it.  As years go by you become an expert at riding the two wheeled bike. Pretty soon you’re teaching your little sister how to ride the bike and running behind her like your Mom or Dad ran behind you.  You didn’t just learn how to ride, you learned how to teach, how to encourage, and how good it feels when you help someone you care about learn to do something they care about.

Happy Ending???

A while ago I learned that there is not always a Happy Ending and sometimes there is. Do you want your life to end happily? I do… And I don’t think I might not get one.  Because we can create the endings we want.  So anyone can get one, its up to you!   Here is what I mean: As you know you can not buy Happy Endings at a store you have to earn, make, or help it come. Earn it by living a nice life, make it by making friends, and help it by getting out of the way of bad things.  A Happy Ending doesn’t always mean a Cinderella Story type, it could just mean you die peacefully or you got the one thing you wanted your whole life. I am going to try my best to get my Happy Ending. Will you?

Friendship

Jake Weisler and some of my Friends

Hello I am Jake Weisler and this will be my first post on this site.

This picture is a picture of me and some of my friends. Being with them is really fun because they make me laugh all the time. I lived in Utah before we moved to Georgia and I thought my friends there were the ones I would grow up with and live with my whole life. When we moved, I met more friends and now I plan to grow with them.

To be with your friends, is to grow with your friends.  Dad says “You are either growing together or you are growing apart.”  I like growing together…it’s what a family can do, and it’s what friends can do.   ~ Jake out…

Be Different!

Good Morning! I am Brittany Weisler and I am so excited to start posting on here.

Everyone learns something new every day and I’m excited to publicly express that. Today as my Dad was out of town and we woke up at our usual early time to have family scripture study we began to talk about how a lot of our friends were going to see a movie this Saturday that my parents had read the review for and decided it was not appropriate for anyone in our family to see.

Even though it was rated PG-13 and I am almost 15, my brothers and I had accepted and respected my parents decision in not seeing this movie a couple days ago and were just re-discussing that this morning around the table. My Mom said something that I have heard her say many times before but today it really hit me. She said “In order for us to make a difference, we have to be different.” I really appreciated my Mom saying that and it really rung true to me. I could go see that movie with all my friends, I could do a lot of things… but doing those things is saying I’m just the same as everyone else.  I’m not saying I’m better than any of those friends that are going to see that movie, because I know I am not. What I’m trying to say is that we are all here to make a difference and how can we all make our own special differences if we are all being the same?

If you want to fly…learn

Hi, Its Josh! I’m going to share something that I learned a couple weeks ago when I overheard an adult talking to a small group of kids. I heard the adult talking to the kids and telling them Birds don’t fly because they have wings, but because they know how to and they have learned. This is kind of like swimming. You can’t just swim… you have to learn how and have the patience to learn how. Learning takes a lot of patience. Learn to do something with what you learn… not to learn. ~Josh Weisler

A Human Becoming

 

Rebecca Weisler and her "Human Becomings"

A few years ago my remarkable wife Rebecca, a true life long learner, announced to our family that she was no longer a human being! After the family had some fun speculating about what she was… one of the children asked her what she meant, and what she was now.

Her response was simple. She said, “I am a human becoming.”

She then led a family discussion on the differences between the state of just being and that of becoming.

Needless to say after that discussion our entire family had decided to give up the state of being in favor of the state of becoming. People in a state of growth, development, and learning are certainly more attractive in a myriad of ways than those sad beings who say lame and self limiting things like “What you see is what you get” or “It’s just the way I am”.

The phrase that pays in our home has become…. “The State of Becoming is a very becoming state.

This BLOG Site was created so that the family could share our growth, learning and state of “becoming” with one another and with the world.

 Say it with me now… “I am a Human Becoming” Kirk Out
