Where have all the Heroes gone?
Become your own Superhero!
People we can look up to, people who are inspiring, flawless, good and honest, people that live their dreams, that fight for what is right, that stand up and are counted?
Were are these righteous men and women, where do we find them? How do we get to meet them and learn a thing or two from them?
In these days of Pop-idols and Plastic Superstars, the people we are told to look up to, are famous for being famous, they are: football players, singers, models, fashion designers, entertainers, the entrepreneur, the multi-millionaire, the flamboyant and the self-obsessed, so it’s easy to say that there are no real heroes anymore. You can look around you and say real heroes do not exist, but they do”
It’s true real heroes can’t be found if we are looking in the same places as the other role models of our society, you’re not going to find them in ‘Hello’ magazine, or boasting about themselves on primetime TV, with few exceptions.
That’s because they aren’t in it for themselves, or for their own self-aggrandisement or publicity hungry ambition.
But even if you know this already, and you have hung out with what people would agree are real heroes, the equivalent of Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, or the Dalai Lama, and yet you see them as flawed human beings and not the heroes you’ve been looking for.
If you’ve not found any real heroes, then create you own; Supermen, Jedi Knights or Monkey Magic.
Or maybe it’s time for you to become the hero you’ve been looking for.
