Who doesn’t love a story with a successful hero? Heroes have been around since the beginning of time, in real life and within stories.
What if you could be the hero in your story? What if you simply adopted the mindset of being a hero? Your life might get a whole lot more fun and exciting.
Truth be told, this is easier to do than you may think.
1. Imagine a brave and intelligent character faced with your challenges.
What would such a character do in your situation? What are the logical first steps to solving your challenges and creating an adventure for yourself?
2. List the thoughts, mindset, and behavior of a hero in your situation.
Imagine the perfect hero for living your life. What would they think? How would they behave? What skills would they have?
3. Ignore your past failures.
We are talking about the hero version of yourself, not you at your most vulnerable, least successful, or least resourceful. We are talking about right here and right now. The past has no place in the mind of a hero. Leave the past behind.
4. List things you won’t tolerate from yourself.
Would a hero sit on the couch, eat a bag of chips, and watch the entire series of The Royals for the third time? Would she feel sorry for herself? Would she procrastinate? What are the thoughts, habits, and other behaviors that you need to eliminate from your life to become the hero of your story?
5. Visualize yourself being the hero in your story.
Look at the first steps you need to take. Imagine yourself taking them. See yourself thinking and behaving like a hero. Get used to the idea of being heroic.
6. Let go of your ego.
A big part of your ego’s job is to keep you where you are. It is all based upon consistency and fear. Allow yourself to think the thoughts you need to think and to do the things you need to do. Release yourself from the concern of what others think. You can be so much more than you have been settling for.
7. Thinking of your life as a story is liberating.
It makes it a little less personal and a little more like a challenge to conquer. It creates a little distance, which is helpful. It allows you to better see the truth of the situation and to make better choices and decisions.
8. Be active.
Heroes do not sit around waiting for things to happen. They make things happen. The average person is passive, so stop being passive. Take control of the situation and of your story. What can you do right now to get started? Go for it!!
9. Heroes don’t accept mediocrity.
One of the greatest causes of despair in first-world countries is settling for mediocrity. The average person knows in their heart that they could be so much more, but they can’t quite get themselves to do it. It is a misfortune that only becomes more uncomfortable as one ages.
- Refuse to accept mediocre goals, effort, and results from yourself. Raising your standards is a necessary first step for enhancing any part of your life. You get what you are willing to tolerate.
There is no one rushing to save you from your circumstances. Your redemption ultimately lies within yourself. Few people develop themselves fully and live their lives to the fullest.
Be courageous and willing to pay the price that life is asking of you. You can have anything you want if you are willing to step up your game. Rise up from the ashes and be the hero of your story!!
