‘I used to want to save the world, to end war and bring peace to
man kind. But then i glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light.
I learnt that inside everyone of them there will always be both. The
choice each must make for them selves…..Something no hero will defeat’.
Wonder Woman
So I watched Wonder Woman, well I eventually watched almost all
of Wonder Woman, I watched it in two go’s and even then I fell asleep during the second part of it. Not
because its a bad movie … It is a great movie (but then this blog is not a
movie review so lets get past that bit!)
Anyway, I watched it and that line stood out for me over and
above anything else. See I used to want to save the world, maybe not with a
sword and a shield and some very fancy cuffs, but with social work (I didn't
tell you i was also a social worker did I?)
I have literally spent the majority of my adult life wondering
how I can rescue people around me.
However, just as Wonder Woman was missing the point, so was I. People
can not be saved, they have to want to save themselves. I know this,
Wonder Woman knows this, neither me or her are waiting around for someone to
come along and make it all ok. We are both taking action every day toward
that which we believe we are called to achieve.
So why is it that so any people are wandering around waiting to
be saved? Why are so many people just existing rather than fully living their
lives?
The answer is…I have no real idea BUT what i do know is this..
You have to choose the LIGHT or the DARK, you have to pick a side. The
world is going to continue to go on around you, there will be challenges,
horrible, scary things will always happen.
Wonder Woman thought if she killed Achillies then all the
darkness would be gone from the world but that is not the case. Just
because you decide to kill your ‘achillies’ wether that is sabotaging your own health, not taking action on
a business idea, not sharing your gift, pushing someone you love away, what
ever it is that is that is your darkness, just because you decide to no longer
let that be a part of your world and you decide to go in to battle with it to
over come it it does not mean that all the other darkness in the world will be
gone!
The other things will still exist… you have the power to save
YOU and you alone.
Here’s
your super power though. By choosing light , by choosing to take 100%
responsibility for your life, for your health, your parenting, your business,
your relationships, by becoming the super hero of you own life you shine so
brightly that you will light the way for those around you that feel trapped
inside their own darkness.
My last blog talked about super hero school, my message will
always be that YOU are the Superhero of your own life but today I am asking you
this… If you knew you could impact the world just by being the best version of
YOU that you can be, would you take up the challenge?
In order to be the super hero of your own life your going to have to adopt some superhero tactics, now in our world this doesn’t mean putting on your cape and mask, it means becoming disciplined in the daily habits that will move you closer towards the best version of you.
SO
Get up early
Fill your mind with positive, motivating books and audios
Move your body
Fuel it with awesome food and high quality supplements
Tell people you love them
Be on purpose
And most of all be grateful, be thankful every minute of every
day for what you have and you will invite in more.
I don’t know what the voice inside you is calling you to do but I do
know this…. you have to get out of your own way, you have to step in to your
greatness by taking on the daily habits that allow you to become your best,
most heroic self…..Wonder Woman is not coming to save you!
The world needs YOUR LIGHT…
