Your life is your story, and just like every great tale, it needs a hero. Instead of idolising someone else, why not be that person for yourself?

Here’s how you can shape your journey in life and become your own hero:

1. Start Where You Are, Not Where You Wish You Were

Your hero has to start from your current reality. It’s not about pretending you’re someone else or wishing for a better starting point—it’s about embracing where you are right now. This is the foundation for your transformation.

2. Set a Timeline

Heroes don’t have forever. Choose a 5 to 10-year window for your hero’s journey. Time limits force you to act with purpose and clarity. By setting a deadline, you make your hero’s story one you can start living now, not someday.

3. Dream Big—Don’t Limit Yourself

Planning is the easy part - action is where most people falter. Getting started is the hardest step, but it’s the most important one. You don’t need perfection, just progress. Your hero isn’t waiting for “the right time.” Your hero starts now.
