HEROES

This is a letter for transcendence and hope – dedicated to heroes and the hero within us!

I am writing this letter in the hopes that you will find inner peace through my words.

Throughout your experiences you have faced great challenges and obstacles. Situations that caused fragmentation, and points where you needed to be the light for others amongst dark times.

One thing I want you consider as I write this letter is, not only have you stood as hero, role model, leader within many communities you have elevated your communities awareness as conscious beings of the complexities within society. It is not easy to be the one to make tough decisions within a moments notice to help the greater good.

In life based on circumstances we put up a wall to protect a sacred part of us and those that we love and protect. As each experience occurs, it compounds like building blocks, till we place a barrier that obstructs our view. Give yourself permission to knock down those blocks of anything that has held you back. When something happens to us, it is always for our highest and best, and the lessons we extract from those situation give us wisdom.

Our scars do not make us or define us, our actions do.

The hero is someone who is strong and has seen a lot within his or her life, always having many roles and always placing the collective before their needs. The hero is balanced and always encompass the stillness within – a hero remains still and observes despite the chaos around them then acts accordingly. They are a lighthouse, that stands as a structure of strength and leadership. A hero’s legacy is every accomplishment and failure, their contribution no matter great or small always changes the lives of the many. The hero within does not allow anyone to disrupt their inner peace. A true hero understands and honors others that dedicate their life to helping others. As we read this, give thanks to every hero you have encountered in your life and acknowledge within all the heroic acts you have contributed.

When you are among others that want to diminish you, stand strong. Bring the light to every situation you encounter. Never give away your power. Above all, never settle for anything less than you deserve.

As a hero you have experienced loss at such a profound level whether it was loved ones, a friend, a stranger, or the fear of loosing someone close to you. In life, nothing is certain. What is certain, and as I say this please place your hand on your heart, is that , we are not alone. Collectively we are all interconnected. We find love through family, friends, relationships of all different kinds, we always will find the places we belong.

As a hero acknowledge that you have selflessly dedicated your time to serving and protecting others. It is in this moment that I personally thank all healthcare workers, officers, firefighters, teachers, mentors, leaders of our great community, parents, loved ones and strangers that enhance our learning experience along our journey. Let us take a moment to celebrate their selfless dedication that they contribute within each of our communities.

No matter what you face in life I hope as a hero you will always feel aligned, safe, balanced, positive, and that you always keep observing situations from every facet. Do everything with compassion and without judgement.

Understand that everyday you will get stronger, wiser, and happier. Our experiences bring us insight to understand the deeper levels of the world, and above all, beyond the fighting, beyond the sadness or grief, ask yourself , “what else is there?.”

Plant your feet firmly on the ground, establish roots, your home is where your heart is. Always remember, every experience is a period of growth and exploration. Learn lessons and move forward. Always be thankful for what you do have. Do not focus on the negative, you serve as an ambassador to protector others, keep being strong and fearless.

I hope that this letter gives you strength as I feel you will read it when the time is right.
