Будьте главным героем своей жизни

ACG предлагает следующие решения:

Ни один супергерой не смог бы быть Вами, лучше чем Вы это можете сделать.

Никто не станет лучшим ребенком Вашим родителям, и лучшим родителем Вашим детям.

Каким будет для Вас 2012 год, что за человеком Вы будете в этом году, исходя из каких ценностей вы его проживете, на чьи жизни Вы окажете влияние, и если бы Ваша жизнь была самым лучшим кино, что бы это был за фильм?

We have all been powerfully influenced by heroes in our lives... whether it was a hero in our favourite cartoon as a child, or a real-life hero - a family member, a friend, a colleague or a social or political figure. I invite you to consider-what would it take for you to be your own hero? In this article, we gently and lovingly show you the path to heroism in your own life.

Bring to mind someone that you consider a hero, whether it is a fictional hero like Superman, or a real-life hero like Mother Teresa. Consider the core premise of the hero's story. Stories that show the unfolding of the hero's journey clearly depict the development of a person who stretches way beyond his or her own limits and expectations to engage in his life and with others.

The Hero's journey is the massive development of a person's character, integrity, self-knowing, and trust. The hero may be a warrior, a saviour, a champion, a leader, or a simple humble human being. No matter, she is a person making powerful commitments in the face of the inner and outer hardships. We experience her challenges and learning. Usually, we follow the hero as she goes through a compelling progression that unfolds as specific steps.

Visualize these steps in your unfolding story as a hero in your life:

1. The hero is challenged.

First, the hero starts out and is thrust into a challenge. The universe offers him or her a unique "job", a quest, and our hero accepts the opportunity. Good examples can be seen in all of the world's great heroes - Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, religious figures etc.

2. The hero commits.

At the start of the journey, further challenges appear. Our hero takes a strong intentional stance, "I will do it!" and makes a declaration of commitment. He or she begins to undergo huge inner shifts developing courage, resilience, tenacity, and other characteristics of leadership and strength. Gradually he or she solidifies this commitment and inevitably crosses an internal threshold. Our hero moves into absolute certainty of his or her capacities.

3. The hero is tested and asks for help.

Next, overwhelming challenges present themselves. Sorely tested, our hero learns to ask for help. He cannot do it on his own. He seeks or stumbles across guardians and helpers to assist. Someone answers the call. Our hero learns inner and outer trust, even (and especially) in the face of adversity.

4. The hero finds advisers.

The challenges at first seem to be evil. Inner or outer fear appears for the hero. The hero learns to work with the difficulties, eventually transforming them into valuable resources that can be used in his quest.

5. The hero develops resources.

In confronting these inner or outer fears, the hero accesses resources and develop special skills and tools. He discovers his own strengths and acquires mastery. Our hero takes ownership and brings his resources back to assist others.

6. The return home.

The story ends with a genuine form of celebration. The hero returns home, and everyone reunites and celebrates. The hero has moved past all inner and outer challenges, has grown and developed on many levels, and as a result brings back true enlightened contribution to others.

Consider that you are the hero in the story of your own life. You are the champion, the protagonist, the star.... If you were to undertake to visualize, write or re-write your own story as the Hero's Journey, what would it look like?

In 2012 what sort of person would you be? What values would you live from? What capabilities would you exhibit? How would you act? On whose lives would you have an impact? If your life was a brilliant movie what might it be like?

Doug Horton said it nicely, "Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket."

On some level, we are all living our lives in mythic proportions. We are heroes for ourselves and one another.

So great heroes, venture forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder. Fabulous forces will be encountered and a decisive victory will be won. Then, come back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on your fellow coaches! We are waiting with excitement for your learning and growth.

Smiling with Gratitude,

Rae
