[need a hero]

"What is the biggest lie you've ever been told?"

"I think the biggest lie that I've ever been told is that I can be my own hero. This world tells us that we can be our own hero, and we can do anything if we set our minds to it--and I believe we can set our minds to a lot of things and do great things, but I fall short, and I'm not perfect, although I try so hard to be. I am not capable of saving myself. I'm a Christian. Once I accepted Jesus into my life, my life changed, because my life was no longer about me. Before, I was believing the lies of this world that my life was about me--what makes me happy, what makes me content, what do I want to do with my life, what do I want to accomplish, where do I want to go in life--but once I accepted Jesus into my heart, there was a total plot twist. Now, instead of ruling my own life, he was ruling my life, and that changed a lot of things. Now I know that the purpose of my life is to serve him. Everything I do, my underlying purpose, is to glorify him. My friends come and go--humans aren't consistent. My passions come and go, even my family can come and go. Everything in my life changes, or can change in an instant. The only thing that has stayed constant is my relationship with the Lord.
The biggest lie that I've ever been told is that I am enough on my own."

Respectfully, I disagree. I think we all have the potential to be our own heroes, to "save" ourselves.

But we also don't have to.

The arms of your friends, your family, your professors, your influencers, your motivators, your encouragers, your saviors are extended, ready to catch you.

You just have to be willing to let go.

Ask for help.
Seek support.
Embrace vulnerability.

You don't have to save the day.
