Larry Chambers: artist and author of Attraction Marketing Project.

Recently, Larry Chambers wrote an essay to accompany his completion of his painting, A Hero’s Journey.

A Hero is someone who is willing to sacrifice his own needs on behalf of others, like a shepherd who will sacrifice to protect and serve his flock.  At the root the idea of Hero is connected with self-sacrifice. Sacrifice is the Hero’s willingness to give up something of value, perhaps even her own life, on behalf of an ideal or a group. Like soldiers who know that by enlisting they have agreed to give their lives if their country asks them to, Heroes accept the possibility of sacrifice.   They may give up a loved one or friend along the way or some cherished vice or eccentricity as the price of entering into a new way of life.

All the villains, tricksters, lovers, friends, and foes of the Hero can be found inside ourselves.

These amazing words were written by someone who appreciates the art and beauty of both words and colors.  Chambers also appreciates the value of dyslexia in a person’s life.

The successful divergent thinkers learned early on how to maneuver around obstacles and bypass the guarded convergent thinking systems. The occurrence of dyslexia among wealthy entrepreneurs is stunning….Daniel Pink, author of A Whole New Mind, reported in an interview that self-made millionaires are four-times as likely to be dyslexic as the rest of the population
