Wonder woman can’t save you!

‘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…

The world needs more super hero’s!

Hi, I am Charlotte, I am a lifestyle coach, a CrossFit addict, a Mummy and the founder of ‘Super Hero Academy’ a coaching platform that enables women to take 100% responsibility of their Health and Happiness!

I am so grateful for this opportunity to share some of my thoughts with you guys over the next few days! A massive thanks to Mark for the opportunity to hijack his blog and to bring some of the principles of Super Hero Academy to you all..

So, Today is day one and I wanted to put this whole 100% responsibility thing in to context…….. Wouldn’t you agree that somewhere deep down inside you, given the current state of the world we live in, there is a small part of you praying for a team of lycra clad, freakishly strong, mind bogglingly smart superheroes to fly down to earth and clean up this awful mess we seem to have got ourselves in to?

From the horrific events in Manchester and London, to the political agendas, the recession, the cuts to services, the atrocities happening in countries all over the world every single day wouldn’t you agree that it would be far easier if  ‘THE SUPER HERO’S’  showed up to fix it all?

Around 6 months ago I was walking around a lake near my home in the High Peak, I was the only person there, I stopped to sit on a bench and found myself in floods of tears… I was sat looking at the most beautifully still and peaceful lake, the blue sky, the trees in the forrest, it was stunning and I was crying because despite the beauty of this planet there is so much fear , sadness, darkness and hatred.

I cried because I was overwhelmed by the enormity of things that I am powerless to do anything about.  I cried because I am only one person and how can I ever even begin to help make things any better? I cried because I know I have to do something… but sat on that bench at that lake I had no idea what on earth it was I am supposed to do.

So I asked…. out loud.. for the first time ever …there and then… amidst my tears I asked the universe, god, my spirit guide, my intuition, whoever the heck that may be listening to help me and to guide me… I asked the universe to ‘please just use me…. tell  me where to go, tell me what to do, tell me what to say and to whom…’  Gabby Bernstein, author and Spirit Junkie says that in any time of doubt and fear this prayer opens doors to infinite possibilities and as the months have unfolded I am beginning to believe she is right.

I founded Super Hero Academy shortly after this day and since then I have been working with some incredible women who are all putting in to practice the four principles, or ‘controlables’ that I believe help” them to deal with whatever life throws at them.

There is a huge emphasis on loosing the ‘victim mentality’ on developing leadership skills, and self awareness that enables you to handle the challenges faced by any person alive on this planet toady.

I call this … becoming an AWESOME HUMAN..

So whilst we all sit around wishing that the Super Hero’s would hurry up, the reality is THEY ARE ALREADY HERE.. most just don’t know it!

You see YOU have the ability to make a difference, YOU have the ability to make an impact, to create a ripple that will in turn create a tidal wave of change.. but first you have to realise that for that to happen you must be ok with stepping in to your super power!
