Remember this is your story. You are the hero. Maybe the reluctant hero — but you go for it. The resources you need and your magical abilities will be discovered along the way.

If it feels like the most exciting path, then this is the right path for you. It felt very exciting for Jack to take those magic beans and let go of that cow. It was not a heavy decision. It felt inspired. It felt right. He could see the wizard was benevolent. He felt the genuine care.

What if I’m not ready to leave the current path?

You don’t have to rush. But if you’re feeling the nudge, it means something’s calling. If you stay where you are, things stay how they are.

What if I don’t know what my passion is?

Look at what you love. Look at others you admire. Who is modelling your heroic path? Who makes you say “I wish I was doing what they’re doing.” Inspiration can come in any form. Your soul is close by. Just across the physical divide. They are already nudging you down the path. A book might fall off the shelf. A website may appear. A random post makes a comment that rings true.

What if I know what I’m meant to do, but I don’t feel good enough?

That’s the deal. The hero never feels ready. You go anyway. You take the leap.

You’re here to bring something new. The thing you think disqualifies you might be the very thing that makes your offering unique.

So what if I’m scared?

That is the nature of being a hero. Feel the fear. Feel the doubt. And do it anyway.
