Are you striving to be your own hero?
A while ago I visited Tate Britain and was really moved by a piece of art from the Susan Hiller's exhibition called Monument. It is made up of a series of Victorian ceramic tiles dedicated to everyday heroes taken from the Wall of Heroes at Postman's Park in London. Monument explores heroism, and commemorates acts of courage by ordinary men, women and children.
In the middle of the mosaic is a piece of graffiti reading 'strive to be your own hero'. It really moved me.
I believe my clients, each and every single one of them, are true heroes.
Having a wish for a happier life is one thing. But actually taking the first step to make it happen is another. I didn't say it was going to be easy. You might not know where to start, where you want to get to, or how to get there. You might have to overcome all kinds of obstacles, both inside and outside of yourself. But just think of the first step, no matter how small, give it your best shot, and be your own hero.

When you are in the mood to watch a good film about true heroes, everyday people like you and me, consider watching "As it is in Heaven" (Sa som i himmelen, Kay Pollak, 2004). Gabriella’s Song is one of my favourites!
