If you've seen a super hero movie recently, you've probably noticed an interesting trend—movie heroes suddenly aren't so heroic anymore. Sure they have super powers and save the innocent, but more often then not, they have personality flaws that seem more important to the filmmakers than what makes the character great.

When did flaws become something to celebrate? When people became content with living lives of mediocrity, never challenging themselves to greater and greater heights. I'm here to tell you that true success—professional and personal achievement—isn't the result of settling for flaws: it's the result of embracing change and continuously stepping into new uncharted territory every day, becoming your own personal best. Now is the time to be your own hero and manifest the life of your dreams!

A lot of heroes we see in Hollywood nowadays are vaunted for their helplessness—all they can do is draw attention to evil, they cannot eradicate it. When it comes to our personal lives, we often feel helpless too. Maybe our past limiting beliefs make us feel helpless to take a risk. Maybe our class consciousness makes us feel we are helpless to do more than work 9-to-5.

But this helplessness is only the result of our mindset—it has nothing to do with reality. In reality, we all have the opportunity to make our dreams and ambitions come alive. You see, everything in the universe is made up of matter, which is another way of saying it's made up of energy. If we desire a certain outcome, we are not helpless to achieve it; in fact, we are the ONLY ones who can achieve it. By harnessing the power of our thoughts, we can send positive vibrations into the universe, which attracts positive energy (and matter) back to us. It isn't long before our ideal goals manifest themselves into reality.

Though it might be unpopular in the media, don't be afraid to embrace the moral earnestness and optimism of yesterday's Hollywood heroes. The more you acknowledge these things, the more the Law of Attraction will bring things of a moral and optimistic nature to you.

You don't have to have super powers or fight crime to be a hero. A hero is someone who stands for good, who always does what's best, who has courage in the face of adversity, and who always triumphs over evil, embracing change and continuously stepping out of their comfort zone. With the right attitude and education, you can have courage and triumph too. The only thing standing in your way—your kryptonite, so to speak—is your fear of risk or self-doubt. If you boldly embrace your destiny and strive to fulfill your goals, your success will be proof of your own heroism.
