Are You Real?

Growing up, cartoons were a wonderful pastime in which to spend Saturday mornings before the parents released you to go outside or go wherever your special place was for the weekend.  As you watched the exploits of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, or perhaps Superman or Wonder Woman was your flavor, you wondered how could they be superheroes, yet still be satisfied with their ordinary aspects of their lives when they weren’t saving the world.  Many of us grow up trying to be like those superheroes; Superman, where nothing really fazes us.  Wonder Woman who cannot be defeated by man or beast.   We shy away from our Clark Kent and Diana Prince personalities to prove to the world we are the best there is, was and will ever be.  Superman and Wonder Woman are fictional characters, so the question is; are you for real.  If you are trying to be like them, are you being true to yourself?  Are you just faking it to make it, or have you truly embraced who you are?  Can people see the real you, or do they only see the image you portray?  

Many times people forget, Superman was who Clark Kent “used” to not detract from the life he chose.   Wonder Woman left the island she was from to be who she really wanted to be, versus the pigeon-holed leader her home island decided she should be.   Don’t hide from who you are; embrace it.  If you don’t like who you are, then chase your dream and become the person you want to be.  What’s stopping you besides FEAR and you?   Never forget, Superman was a persona of Clark Kent, not Clark Kent a persona of Superman.   Wonder Woman was a persona of Diana Prince, not the other way around.   

The beautiful thing is, we don’t have a need of a superhero alter ego for the people we see every day; for many, if we would just be the best version of ourselves we can be; the best parent, sibling, leader, worker, or whatever it may be, we will find we are already a Superhero in someone’s eyes for just being real!
