Heroes Are Humans Too
Summary
- Remember that heroes are human too: I've found that even the most awe-inspiring figures have their flaws. It's important to realize that those we perceive as 'Godlike' are just like us and have their imperfections.
- Don't be discouraged by others' success: When seeing someone achieve greatness, it can be easy to think that it's out of reach because they must be superhuman. I want to emphasize that this isn't true.
- Embrace your potential: Looking at those I admire made me see that if they can succeed despite their flaws, so can anyone else. It's crucial to believe in your own ability to achieve what you set out to do.
- Reject the myth of the 'Marvel character': Too often we compare ourselves to an ideal that is both fictional and unattainable. I advise against placing anyone on a pedestal so high that it discourages us from trying.
- Acknowledge that everyone starts somewhere: Understanding that even the most successful people began with doubts and setbacks should inspire us to start our journeys without fear of imperfection.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with acknowledging that everyone, including your heroes, has flaws and is human. Don't let the success of others make you feel like you can't achieve great things. They started out just like you, so remember that you can succeed despite any imperfections.
A good way of doing this is to embrace your potential. Believe in your ability to reach your goals, even if you're not perfect. You don't have to be a superhero to do amazing things.
I advise against comparing yourself to others, especially those who seem like 'Marvel characters'. They're not real, and thinking you can't achieve success because you're not like them is a myth. Instead, look at your own strengths and work on developing them.
To implement this mindset, write down qualities you admire in others and then list your own similar qualities. This can help you see that you have what it takes to be successful too.
Realize that your journey is your own. Instead of being scared to start because you're not flawless, take the first small step towards your goal. Remember, all the giants in any field started with tiny steps. Acknowledge your doubts and face them head-on, rather than letting them stop you.
Lastly, every time you feel discouraged by someone's achievements, remind yourself of your own successes, no matter how small. Each win, no matter the size, is proof that you're on the right path and that you have the potential to achieve your own version of greatness. Keep pushing forward, learning, and growing!
