Strength.
Might.
Skill.
Leadership.
Not of this world.

Fake.

Yeah…I said fake, and now lemme ‘splain what the hell Thors Hammer has to do with this montage of words.

You see, the first few words immediately came to mind when I started writing about “Thor’s Hammer,” and as I wrote these words, I actually began to feel something.

It was like my chest puffed up a bit…

My breathing got a little more rapid…and deeper…

My fists clenched — both of them.

It felt powerful…invigorated…majestic, and even hopeful.

And as all these feelings begin to wash over me, in me, through me…that last word bounced to the surface.

Fake.

A lot like a tennis ball does when you hold it underwater and then release it. It just kind “pops” to the surface and bobbles there.

Fake.

Which makes me wonder about, perhaps even question the power of mantras and power words.

You know.

The kinda stuff your life coach or that last…
