be your own hero/heroine

all my life i've had some worries. they came down to being about life. i was anxious about a lot of things. and so i looked for models/mentors/heroes. i still have a lot to learn. but now i know that i am capable of learning. and i'm proud of what i've done so far. this is not an ego-centric post. but, a wise woman once said to me: be your own mother. now i'm also thinking: be your own hero. when we keep looking outside for the answers, we waste time. yes, there are wonderful models to be learned from. but i think it comes down to two things: the only things that can stand in the way of getting what we want/need are: fear and lack of creativity. i've been learning a lot about getting over fear (though i still creatively work at this), and creativity is an unending source when we open ourselves up to it. patience is also good. but so is a bit of pressure. i've always put pressure on myself to accomplish my goals. it's taken longer than i wanted sometimes, but i keep learning to put my priorities in the best spot they can be in that moment. anyways, it sounds like i'm giving advice like a life coach. but, this is my blog, and clearly, i'm the best life coach on my own life, so advise myself in a place where i can retrieve this moment of seeming clarity i will.
