The Hero

By Kat Beckman

We are all the heroes in our own stories.

For there to be a hero, must there be someone or something to save?

Second only to "defending", my sub-conscience/ego liked to play the hero. It finally it hit me that I was creating (manifesting) the situations where someone or something must be saved, due to my need to be the hero. Wow, this was entirely un-useful. *sigh* I'd been creating the drama that I said I wanted to end.

My old belief that "it is hard", "it is stressful", "it is too much", "I'm being left out", etc, was fulfilling itself over and over. As masters of manifestation, what we believe comes true. Our world has no choice but to provide us with our true beliefs.

So, how do we change our beliefs? There are lots techniques for this.

The easiest one is to look at a specific situation and find evidence to the contrary. Consider for example the belief, "I have too much work to do". Yes, there is work to be done-true. After taking the time to plan it out, it becomes less overwhelming. Talking to the boss or others involved and getting confirmation on the new achievable plan confirms that it is possible. Now, a new belief  is possible, "I can handle my workload".

Every time an un-useful thought comes in, challenge that thought. Otherwise… If the limiting belief gets accepted or embraced, *poof* wish granted!

Kat, I really love the way you can see these patterns so clearly. I know that I am guilty of setting myself up as the hero, and also as the martyr, scapegoat -- just to name a few. It is so easy to forget that I am creating those experiences for myself... Thank you for the timely reminder!

Like Mark, I read this on a day that I needed to see it. It was really sobering to realize that I, too, had aspects of myself creating drama so other parts could swoop in and 'save the day.' Working on clearing that out for sure! :-)

Kat;
I've read this a few times and it is incredibly insightful. I learn so much from you. And yes, in the past, I've LOVED my hero role and the drama I sought out to I could go in and "save the day". What's weird is many times all the characters in the play see you as the hero and something that appears to be "good", comes from it. Man have I learned that these patterns can be VERY subtle.
