The Hero and The Unknown
Blunt moment and a quick concept for the New Year: It’s not what the New Year holds, it’s what you are bringing to it. What are you choosing to become this year? You want new things in your life? Who do you need to become to be the person that has those things (house, vacation, relationship, career move, etc.)?
Just remember this, You Are The Hero of your life’s story.
There will be new challenges; let’s hope so, that’s what keeps you growing! So with this blank page of a New Year looming before you, whom do you wish to become?
Let’s back up a second. For the year ahead, what are the top six things you wish to do or have? That is, by the end of this year, what can you look back at with a smile and say, I’m so glad I did that?
The truth is that a lot of people – and you may be one of them – are afraid to declare what they really, truly want because doing so demands that stepping into the unknown.
Declaring your desires demands stepping into the unknown!
That, by the way, is part of The Hero’s Journey. The unknown can be scary because it demands becoming different in order to deal with it. (Read that again and let it sink in.)
If you say you want something, you have to let go of some of the things that are familiar in order to get something new or better.
Literally every time we upgrade our lives, we leave behind something we knew so well.
We step into the unknown. And with three days of the new year behind us, we now have 363 new days to step into the unknown, a little further each day. (It’s a leap year, so there are 366 days. Ah, but I digress.)
Allow yourself two gifts:
- The gift of stepping into the unknown a little every day.
- The gift of recognizing that you can figure it out, and with that comes the recognition that you are both courageous and resilient.
Every day, allow the hero-you to encounter the unknown, to grow a little, and to learn a lot.
Cheers! Happy New Year!!!
