Sometimes It’s Up To You To Be Your Own Hero
True, at some point it will be up to you to be your own hero or your own heroine. You’re going to have to rip your garments, tie the boots of salvation tight, and go and save yourself. There will be an emergency and you will have no choice but to be stronger than the danger.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the biggest earthquake of your life or if your feelings are colliding like a big hot tub. Sooner or later the time will come when you will have to put your claws out and fight the fire.
So, there will be someone who will reach out to you with all the affection in the world, but at the same time you will discover that it will be yours that will pull you out of the hole. You will not see any more light until you destroy your own shadows with your effort: sometimes you will have to see yourself as you never wanted to go and go where you never wanted to go ; and in the end, you will get over it.
you have a heart to defend
Perhaps you think you have the strongest and strongest armor there is. You probably don’t see the possibility that something is causing a storm inside your soul because you’ve built a high wall around it. It’s happened to all of us: we think we’re stronger when we’ve been hurt the most.
In trying, you are wrong. Deep down there is a heart that is not out of danger, even though it takes every precaution it can imagine. So you have a heart that, as a hero, you must defend whatever happens, and whatever your age. He deserves it more than anything else because it gives meaning to his existence.
This heart requires an extraordinary achievement and the immense value of the person to whom it belongs. Yours bears his name and hopes that, in the most frightening moments of your existence, you don’t turn your back on him for anything or anyone.
you are your most important hero
You are surrounded by many other hearts that you have to take care of. Know that it is good to help, it is good to advise and it is very noble to fight for the well-being of others. In addition, there will be stages where you will be your most important hero and will be forced to help, advise and fight for yourself.
You will feel a need for empathy, compassion, trust and security. Then you will see that no one better than you will be able to provide this: you will have to bend in understanding, forget your own judgments and deal with the challenge of ending the nightmares.
In this way, just as a brave hero would, you must believe in the persistence and drive that adversity provides to be a better person. And, most important of all, there will be room for the bravery that can stand to look at fear and defeat it.
It’s not an option, get up and win
If you were faced with the greatest danger you’ve ever faced before, what would you do? For the survival instinct would drive him not to lower his head and awaken his courage. This is winning: not giving up without at least trying.
In this sense, there is no human being who does not cry or feel pain. It will be up to you to know the damage and, even so, not to give up: the pain that will afflict you so much will end up going away and you will learn from it. Also, anything you’ve done more than once out of affection for others, you’ll have to do for yourself.
You will have no other option. You will be confused, depressed and find yourself immersed in a deep chaos that will cause panic. Your world will destabilize and you will believe that you will not be able to keep in balance: you will have to find a way to reach it and you will be filled with doubts. Right there your own hero – yourself – will demonstrate your integrity and will help you.
