Be The Hero Of Your Own Novels & Stories

It doesn’t bear thinking about. “You know, I used to think I was better alone. Stronger. I see that I was wrong and it’s not about doing things alone. It’s about relying on others, being strong together. Heroes in stories they never do it alone, they always have friends… family…. Sisters, a sidekick. I think WE can get through this, together! If I’m going to shine, it won’t be because I’m doing it all by myself.” There’s some comfort in knowing this time, no matter what, I’m not alone.

"I'm just a regular person. How can I be a hero?" Mrs. Evelyn's eyes softened with understanding. "Being a hero is not about being perfect or having all the answers. It's about having the courage to embrace your true self and the willingness to step into the unknown." She handed Alex a vial filled with a shimmering potion. "This potion will help you unlock the dormant magic within you," she said. "But remember, true magic comes from the heart. Believe in yourself, and you will find the strength you need." Grateful for Mrs. Evelyn's guidance, Alex thanked her and left her cottage, the vial clutched tightly in their hand. They knew that this was a pivotal moment, a moment of choice that would

Deep breaths in and out, I closed my eyes to regain control. “You are the first person I am saying about this. Pls, don’t say a word to another.” I grabbed my mobile and admitted it to my friend. “I feel like I might faint.” Ignoring whatever she had written after her “OMG” message, I let my phone slide from my lap to my feet and hid my face in my palms. Before I had a minute to myself…or maybe to faint, I was startled by a surprised guy’s voice “M, what the Hell?”

I couldn't have that. I tipped her chin. "Hey, look at me." Tears clung to her lashes and threatened to fall. "This is not your fault, you did what you had to do, so don't go playing the blame card and heaping it on yourself. You're a hero, just remember that. A hero." Her shoulders began to shake and I pulled her into my arms as she clung to me. "Let it all out, sweetheart." The endearment jumped into my mouth but it didn't feel odd. If anything, if felt right.

I chanted, my breathing fast and painful. "No, baby. No. No one is going to kill you. You're safe. I'm here. You did a great job. You ran away from them. You escaped successfully. You saved yourself, Elle. You're a hero. They can't hurt you anymore." I was crying, and the room was spinning and my head was throbbing, making it impossible for me to calm down. "I'm not a hero." "Yes, you are. You fought, Elle. You fought. No one else could've done what you did. No one could've survived that. You're the strongest person I've ever known, and I'm so proud of you."

"Not very forcefully, but more like a nudge. Remember that you, the human part, need to be in control at all times. And whatever happens, no matter how much it hurts, don't stop. Keep going until it's over and you have shifted." "Yes, I can do it," I told him. I had been through too much to give up now. I had to do my best to survive and live this live that I had been blessed with. A confidence that I wasn't used to took over my being. There was nothing I couldn't do. I could do everything I put my mind to. All my life, I had taken care of other people and helped them when they needed it. Now, it was my turn. I would help myself become the best version of myself.

I will defend him at all costs. "It's not for no reason, he needs to embrace those powers. Maybe he's had no reason to use the magic at his disposal, but his reluctance is a weakness. And you're hunted, I will not allow him to let his pride get in the way of protecting you." he says firmly. I scoff at him "I don't need protection. I can handle myself."

"Do you see? Because this isn't about your mother or Joshua. It's about you. What you truly want. " "But I don't know what I really want," I groaned. "Because you have to allow yourself to feel. Stop getting stuck in the 'what ifs' and take control. Fight for your dreams. For yourself. Because... We can't and shouldn't use people as the basis for our happiness, because they are unstable and can crumble at any moment, taking our happiness with them. So, the best solution to avoid so much frustration is to believe in yourself and become your own anchor."

Embrace your mistakes, and try to become a better person so that they don't define you. You don't know what you can do or how far you can go, until you have given it a try. Don't let anyone's words define you. You are the author of your own life. Don't let anyone decide how you are going to write, and just make sure you are scripting the right things.

“I wouldn’t do that!” “I know—but I’m telling you… self-doubt is a sure way to failure. This is the time. I watched you claim your place as Alpha Female in Maya’s cave, and it made my heart sing. Find that. That is what you are. Who you are. What you can do. You are capable and strong and gifted by God. So… do not flinch.” “But—” I shook my head and leaned down to so were nose to nose. “Do. Not. Flinch.”
