Be the Hero of Your Own Story

Honestly, the longer I live, the more I am coming face to face with my own life’s “truisms!

I’ve even written poems about them! For example (in alphabetical order), “Accept Uncertainty As A Blessing;” “Attitude Is The Key;” “Authenticity I and II;” “Be The Change;” “Be The Solution;” “Be Yourself;” “Carpe Diem;” “The Choice Is Yours To Make,” etc., etc.

In fact, the subjects of many of the poems I’ve written over the years and shared in my books are showing up again in my life, and giving me pause… a second look at the messages in them…

The success or failure of my life is, quite simply, up to me. I am the writer of my own script. I am solely responsible for the thoughts in my head, and solely responsible for the decisions I make about acting on them…

And… so are you!

You are the hero of your own story… as I am of mine!

Enough of waiting… of blaming or excusing… of feeling helpless!

Time to take charge… and to take responsibility for the way things turn out for you!

It’s time to be your own hero!

And remember, whatever the question, love is always the answer.

BE THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY

Every person has the potential to be
A hero in his or her own story line.
It’s a matter of being true to your values and principles;
And to live with those values as your guideline.

Heroes do not wait for someone else’s action.
They become the change they wish to see.
They take responsibility for their behavior.
It’s natural to them… a matter of policy.

When you realize that you’re the only person
Responsible for your own happiness and peace,
You will begin to approach life differently.
Your doubts and fears will decrease.

Heroes know that change starts from within.
It is personal and private to each individual.
They strive to become the best versions of themselves.
It’s a wonderful kind of renewal.

Sometimes the hardest battles are fought within,
Causing one to confront his or her own flaw.
And fearlessly working towards self-improvement
Is heroic in itself. Friends look on with awe!

The two most important days in your life?
Well, the first one is the day you were born. Oh, my!
And the second? (A very good question to ponder…)
Is when you figure out why!

It takes some courage to grow up and become
The person you really are… Indeed!!!
You can change the world simply by being yourself!
Solve your own problems in order to succeed.
