The Hero's Venture
What is a hero? Does it have to be someone who wears a cape and rescues people in need? It can be, but there is another type of hero that is more common. Anyone can be a hero, because a hero is simply someone who is inflicting change. Someone who realizes that something needs to be different and takes it upon themselves to do so is defined as a hero. Breaking away from the known and venturing into the unknown is a heroic act. But this is not the only thing that makes a hero. When a hero sets out to find this change, he also sets out metaphorically in Spirit. When you are about to wander into the deepest, darkest part of the forest of life, you are actually beginning your journey to the center of yourself. When you have reached the point of no return, you are truly a hero of Spirit. It is usually soon after you pass the point of no return that you reach the deepest part of yourself. You are lost in the forest of life, and all you want to do is turn back. When you are about to give up, that is when you have reached the center of yourself. This center is the medium between the inside you, and the way you portray yourself on the outside. This is where your Soul rests. You will feel more alone then ever here, but this is actually when are the closest to everyone else. You must continue to do what makes you, even if others don't like it. This is what makes you a hero.
