In Hera’s eyes, Heracles is a illegitimate son, a despicable progeny of her husband Zeus’ infidelity. So Hera was doing everything in an attempt to bring Heracles to ruin which instead (after performing 12 labors) results in his attaining fame and glory as the greatest hero of the ancient world.

In a sense, those of us will be indeed suffer the plight of Heracles in our life journey.  The key to ultimate success is to view our situation (e.g., suffering, affliction, or hardship) as a challenge. We can realistically take on these threats or challenges that are the chances to make changes for the better in our life. The name “Heracles” means “glory of Hera.” At the first, this seems to be an oxymoron; yet lastly, he truly is Hera’s glory. Can you become A glory of Someone, the person maybe is your parents, friends, teachers or bosses who bring you trouble, embarrassment, etc.?

What is your current challenge? How will you life be changed for the better by meeting this challenge? What is your change here? What are the labors you will face to meet your challenge?
