AM I THE HERO OF TOMORROW?

Quite often we ask ourselves who we are and who we will become. But there
is never a right answer.

"We cannot predict the future, but we can create it".
I heard this phrase once in the Brave World Conference event in May 2018.
When thinking about my future then, I could not have imagined that so many
events could happen in one year, and that could influence who I am now.
One event that influenced me like that, is the participation in the Future
heroes (then Superheroes) program last year, where we challenged
ourselves and our abilities in our teams. Now I know - we can do a lot and so
much more.

The true heroes know what their strengths and weaknesses are!
As a teacher of mine says: "nobody is 100% perfect". We are all human-
beings, and we should be aware of our limits and the amount of energy we
can use up.

To succeed tomorrow, you need to take steps today!
Does that sound motivational enough? But there is a truth, too. The first step,
is to know you are the hero, and that you do have to believe in yourself
otherwise nothing is possible. The second step, is to trust yourself and never
give up! Last but not least, you have to surround yourself with the right people
which will be able to give you advice at the right time.

The real heroes can be recognized by their actions.
Try to be present at this moment thus you lose nothing.
Make decisions based on the situation now.
Draw conclusions and move on.

You know, you are able to be a hero to yourself. Not in order to prove
something to someone or gain someone's respect. First of all, it is necessary
to strive for what you really want. Only then you can tell yourself: I'm a hero!
Are YOU the hero of tomorrow?
