Quest for Heroes

Ever since the little self-love experiment, there’s been a lot of thought toward those I admire and those who are my heroes.  Perhaps the idea is to define them and their admirable qualities and learn to see those same things within myself.

It’s as if the Universe is directing me to this whole hero theme.  Just a small sampling of items from a vision board made at New Year’s…

By making a list or creating a vision board, it literally brings the ideas or desires into the physical.  As we give attention to these ideas and desires, they magically start to manifest into being.

Here are a few of my personal heroes, in order as they came into awareness as a hero.  They range from real life people to celebrities and characters.

Kathleen Shannon - &Kathleen

Leah Whitehorse - Lua Astrology

The Dude – The Dude and the Zen Master

Russell Brand – British celebrity

Don Juan Matus – Castaneda’s teacher/mentor 

At the very moment this was being typed, it all began to make sense!  One common thread connecting these five – their authenticity!  What I love about all these people is their authentic expression of self!

In my eyes, it’s a highly valued trait.  Being and expressing one’s authentic self is so bold, beautiful and brave.

By learning to see and appreciate my own authentic self, it will be like following the guidance the Universe seems to be so generously providing.
