The Hero Within Me
Submitted by: Allen B.
Rialto, CAForever learning, forever growing. I do what I can to let my child at heart dream wild. I do what I can to live my life authentic and courageous. Let's make the best things happen!
I am truly grateful for Rhonda Byrne having put out her latest book, Hero. To put a book out like that takes a tremendous amount of courage to do so. What our world needs more of is heroes.
That being said I’ll share my account of the Hero’s Journey.
In the past, I was not the happiest child. Being abused, having no male role models and having been bullied, kept me emotionally paralyzed when it came to interacting with other people and stuck at home. After years of working with psychologists, I realized none of it was helping at all. I had no hope for the future. Being 24 years old, I didn’t want to live the rest of my life like that.
Then it snapped in me one day. Something Divine happened and I was given a dream of living a life beyond pain. I began practicing what was written in The Secret right after my experience, and my life literally transformed right side up. I knew I had awakened the hero within me since I’ve been in love with tales of mythology.
With everything I learned from her first book, I made every effort to change every aspect of my life and deliver myself from my own past. Every day I learned a new lesson for growing up and was given the people in my life I can call my own heroes to look up to. I spent many nights in complete tears of gratitude realizing there is a power working in my favor to live my wildest dreams with people that were actually making an effort to help me. I watched the film The Secret over and over just so I can always keep myself inspired and moving forward. I felt so much magic in my life. I became the person I’ve always wanted to become, but never aware that I had it within me all along.
However, upon meeting my final challenge, I made the decision to move back into my old life. It felt like death to no longer be on such a magical path.
After one year of getting on my feet again, I purchased the audiobook of Hero.
Throughout listening, I remembered every bit of my adventure and how to live it once again. The book was released at the perfect time of my life. And right away, my life has been realigning itself so I can embark in such an adventure.
The amount of beauty in living the journey of the Hero is phenomenal. It can change everyone’s life and retrieves hope, peace and beauty to the less fortunate.
Thank you Rhonda Byrne for creating Hero. You woke up my inner hero when I nearly lost hope. Now, I have keys that I missed on my last journey. I am truly grateful to be living the life of my wildest dreams! 🙂
Much love to you all. Maybe in time, I can write another post of this next adventure. Better yet, publish a book about my heroic journey.
