(Idols to me = something you worship & worshiping humans to me, makes 0 sense, to give them all that power, I’ve done it & it didn’t end well for me 🤷🏽♀️ so i thought id share my lil lesson life taught me)
In todays society there is a very thin line between Hero’s and Idols..
More often than not we tend to fall into the category of idolising our hero’s. – I blame the dictionary definition 😅
Forgetting that they are human, and when they fall short (cos that’s what humans do)
We instantly cut them off, shut them down and strip them of all to see. #BanCancelCulture
Case in point, 2022 – Will Smith ‘SlapGate’.
Hero’s never ask to be idolised – although some do, but that’s another story altogether. 🤐🙃
So take them off that highest pedestal in your life & mind, that you’ve put them on & remind yourself WHY they are your hero’s in the first place.
What I love about hero’s and why I am a forever fan of Marvel in particular, to pick one – Spiderman – Stan Lee you genius!
Hero’s are human, and humans have flaws.
So the next time one of the people you look up to as a ‘Hero’ falls down, do a self check to see if you are putting them as an Idol, or are remembering that they too, are human just like you.
Remind yourself WHY, maybe it’s the mirror of HOPE that they poured into you, from the positions they’ve been able to climb, to be seen by you and be a positive influence,
which is why you gave them the ‘Hero’ title in your life in the first place
