The purpose of this post is to identify and kill your inner villain who are living inside you and put a roadblock on your way to achievement. There are so many things happen in our every day lives that stop us from our goals. We need to really feel what is our hearts desired to take upon action. Hence, you are here on this website, you already know what you want to become, but sometimes you need a little push to move forward.
What is “Inner Hero”?
First of all, you need to understand the meaning of these two words: Inner and Hero. According to the universal definition:
Inner (adjective): situated inside or further in; internal.
Hero (noun): a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievement, or noble qualities.
Now, you understand what is an inner hero. Lets burying this word into your thought, always keep this in mind as a courage to not allow the doubt and fear stopping you from commitment. Stop reading this for a few seconds, close your eyes and tell yourself that you have the capability to do it.
How to Awaken Your Inner Hero?
Confidence is the answer.
If you are a true Lee’s fan, then you already know about his life story and you probably watch all of his action movies. Tell me if you ever find a detailed moment of his level of confidence is down. Heck no! Lee’s confidence in his martial skills is what shows his dedication through his entire life, that makes him interesting as a character to follow.
So how to build confidence? Now the 4 C’s take place. If you pay attention to every single word I have written, then you will notice that I already mention about those above (in the What is “Inner Hero”). They are (in order): Courage, Commitment, Capability and finally, Confidence.
You wonder how to apply this 4 C’s into real-life practice? The great thing about 4 C’s principal is that you can implement them in every aspect of life. For instance, it takes “courage” to take the first step in a workout, remember the time when you first decide to lose weight, to want a nice physique, to want the power to protect what you love. In order to keep that fire running, you stay “committed” to your decision, this is the point in life your destiny is shaped. Then it comes down to “capability”, ask yourself why you are reading this post? What can you acquire by sticking with the training? By training, you will find the way around the obstacles, see the faster path to obtain the result you are looking for.
The last C is confidence, once you acquire the first three, it becomes naturally your confidence level is up and running. This is the feeling that you know deep in your heart and soul that nothing can stop you. Nothing in external forces that can sway your want and need. Imagine how good it feels when you have the unstoppable power of confidence.
Take Up the Challenge
Bruce Lee is the type of man who not fears any kind of challenge coming in his way. Either conquering by force/action or in his philosophical words, “Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.“. I bet you have experienced at least one moment in your life that your family, spouse or friend admired the action you did because they didn’t fully believe that you could. And when they realize that you have finished what you started, they like you as a man who is not scared of any condition of being difficult.
Right now you might not see your goal at the present. Instead of thinking of the past, whether it is a good experience, let’s fast-forward to the future, at one point you can look back and laugh at your fear. We all have the power to change sleeping inside us, so lit it up, use it, rely on it. Don’t overthink it, take upon any challenge!
Empower Your Subconscious Mind
Do you know your subconscious mind is stronger than your conscious mind? What does it mean?
Don’t you have a case of motivation so strong but it doesn’t last long? That because your subconscious is so powerful that it overrides the conscious mind. For example, the day that you sign up for a gym membership, you think it will help you get back in shape but in the end, you have other better things to do so you almost forget about it. Your subconscious knows fully well that a gym membership won’t help you to lose a pound of fat a day or two. In most case, you tend to allow the subconscious to overtake your state of mind and it leads you to the different direction.
Since the subconscious is so powerful, it doesn’t mean the conscious is at the second place. In fact, the conscious goes first but you need to create a finish line that it can remain in the first place. The subconscious is such a burden, you can’t just throw it away in the trash because we need them both. Both of them need to cooperate together to build an ultimate form of power.
Don’t keep sitting around with an empty thought, that is what your subconscious is telling you to do, stand up and do what you need to do, such as a good workout, buy your exercise equipment, spend time with family, have a conversation with a dear friend, etc… Let the conscious mind gain power by practicing over and over again what you truly want most.
At this point, you really gain the motivation to keep pushing you to train harder. Be like Bruce Lee.
