On November 12th, 2018, Stan Lee departed this realm. He will always be remembered as an artist who broke barriers and paved the way for others to create iconic characters. Lee's work will live on in the hearts of billions around the globe. There has been no shortage of tributes since his passing, but my favorite tributes are those that highlight his kindness. Kindness is a powerful legacy to leave behind. Why? Because despite what some may believe, EVERYONE is talented, but not everyone is kind. The million dollar question is what do you bring to the table besides your abilities? There are individuals who are gifted painters, actors, writers, photographers, scientists, etc., but they are horrible people! There is something to be said about people who are kind and don't fear spreading their kindness. The world needs good and evil. The good balances out the bad and vice versa. It took me a long time to comprehend that, but as I grow older, I appreciate the notion, although its painful to accept most of the time. A legacy is not as fulfilling if kindness is not at the root of it. Look at Mr. Rogers, Princess Diana, Keanu Reeves, and Tom Hanks. People admire them for their work, but they applaud their generosity and compassion even more. No one is perfect, but it's important that we strive to be good to each other frequently. Stan Lee is larger than the universe he created because it stemmed from a place of kindness, understanding, and tolerance. He was humble, and he treated those around him with the utmost respect. The world is a better because he was in it. Are you wondering how you could ever repay him? Simple. Be a superhero. Choose kindness because kindness makes the world go around. Kindness.
Love,
