Epic (Mar. 26)

The term epic seems to refer to something so above and beyond it is nearly unbelieveable to even consider its magnitude. In films we look at epic movies as being the big blockbuster films that seem to go on much longer than any film should and yet it seems to grab our attention and never let it go. When we sit down to describe a truly amazing vacation we might describe it as epic if it was truly one of those experiences that we know will never be repeated and could only happen what must seem like once in a life time. The magnitude of epic seems to set it apart from any other experience. If we look at life itself there is a sense of something truly epic. So why would one live any part of their life not striving to make it the epic adventure that it is? It is not about doing truly amazing things every second of everyday but simply living life with appreciation for what it is and making the most of every opportunity knowing that each experience it truly unique and unlike anything else that will ever happen.
