You are the hero you have been waiting for...
Heroes aren’t heroes because they worship the light, but because they know the darkness all too well to stand down and live with it. – Ninya Tippet
She’s always there on the sidelines, ready to step into who you fully are. The Hero. The Goddess. Your truest form.
But how often do we overlook the powerful being inside ourselves, choosing to venerate another such as a Hollywood star, social media “influencer”, politician or religious leader – or even an ideal such as a superhero from a comic or movie? We look for salvation outside of ourselves and wonder why we feel so powerless in our own lives.
But what if the tendency to revere greatness in others comes from a deep-rooted knowledge of and desire for greatness in ourselves? All we need is to re-discover that dynamic being within to remember who we really are, under the fear, the anxiety, the worry and the lack of self-trust.
We need to remember that we are fucking badass.
We all have our own unique brand of hero within, and it’s high time we stopped looking for someone to save us and start saving ourselves. Be your own Hero, loved one. Be someone that, when your time to cross the border to the great beyond comes, you can look back and say you lived big. You fulfilled those dreams that may lie latent inside yourself right now. You made a difference by just being who you are. You were your own, incredible, unique brand of hero, whatever that looks like.
If you aren’t sure what that might actually look like, we can find clues to our own authentic heroic voice through looking at those things that we admire in others. Maybe compassion is your superpower. Maybe you are a healer, protector of others’ rights, or an incredible artist, athlete, CEO or entrepreneur. Maybe your heroic gift is lifting others; of speaking life into those hard dusty places in others’ psyches that seldom see water. Do you love to share your artistic vision or inspire others to spend more time outdoors? We live in a time when getting your passions out there has never been easier.
Whatever your gift, don’t let it die inside of you. Don’t pass through this life a shadow of yourself. You deserve to be all that you truly are. Your soul deserves it. Those around you need it – by being your most powerful, authentic self, you also give others permission to take their own heroic journey into greatness. You are the Hero you have been waiting for. Believe it. Much love.
