Actually, I did an exercise once that suggested by an audiobook. I can't remember who the author was, but it was essentially take some traumatic or some event from the past that really left an indelible mark on you in a negative way and rewrite that where you are your own hero

So I see what you're saying with that 100%. I also see what you're saying with being inspired in a way by people and their actions, right. But not in a way that presents them as, like, your hero or something along those lines. For me, it's that their action may be something that I've wanted to do or wanted to say. They're active advocates of something and, you know, big advocate of everything. Pick a topic
It's sort of like the visual a relay race with myself, but continually trying to improve and better myself. How many times can I say self anyway? But then as I paused here, I was thinking, when you think about it, because I'm thinking about your photo, you don't hear superheroes talking about comparing themselves to other superheroes. It's just not done. Instead, it's about outside of themselves or it's about self reflection and improving upon oneself

The exercise you talked about where it was rewrite you as a hero of your own story, that's a beautiful exercise. And I don't know who was the author of it, but I am going to borrow it as I work with survivors of domestic violence because, listen, you are your own hero in every aspect of every day of every minute and second of your life. And the way how you described that you're different, right? Screw that. You are unique. You are amazing
And that really left an impact because it's true. You can have other relationships come and go, other cheerleaders come and go, other people who you admire for various reasons or not come and go. And maybe even your feelings of admiration wane or wax with that person, but we're the only ones that will always be with us
