5 Steps to Becoming a Hero

Have you ever imagined yourself a hero? Most of us have at one time or another. We just never talk about it. Polite society doesn't look kindly on people who consider themselves heroes.

But wait... is it really wrong to want to be a hero to a child, a friend, your spouse or even yourself? Not at all!

Being a hero adds enormous power to your life because it tends to make you rise above the everyday. And here's the best part - you don't have to tell anyone! People will know without being told when you are wearing a hero cape.

Would you like to start building your hero status today?

Here are 5 steps that will help you tap into your "inner hero":

Listen to the inner you in all situations. You will be told the right and ethical thing to do. Perhaps it won't be to your liking. But, when you do it anyway, you are building your inner hero status.
Know that you are connected to a divine energy source that has infinite wisdom. Some people call it God. Others might use a different name. It makes no difference what you call it as long as you recognize its existence. Through this recognition you invite hero actions into your life based on infinite wisdom.
Accept yourself for who you are right now. You've heard it said of someone, "She's very comfortable in her own skin." That person is almost always a hero to herself and others around her. And even though she is comfortable, she is never satisfied. She is always working to be a little better today than she was yesterday. You can be that kind of hero.
Fight fear. Remember, superheroes walk with confidence. If you feel fear creeping into a situation, ask yourself this question, "How would my inner hero handle this?" Then align your outer actions to match that thought. Remember the old saying, "Act the way you want to be and soon you'll be the way you act."
Walk to the beat of your own drum. Forget the crowd - you are an individual created for a purpose. Stand, act and walk like the hero you have been created to be.

When you make these suggestions your creed, you will find yourself feeling like a hero, acting like a hero and being treated like a hero. Little things will happen. People will be asking for your advice. You'll attract good friends. Children will want to share your space.

Just one word of warning - once you have obtained hero status, forget about it. Real heroes never think of themselves as heroes!
