This is a YouTube video titled "You can have mentors but be your own hero 💯" containing an English interview or discussion recorded in August 2024. The content features Melissa Dlugolecki and another speaker engaging in a reflective conversation about personal growth, heroism, and the idea of continuously chasing one's future self as a hero.
My hero. That's who I chase now. When I was 15 years old, I had a very important person in my life come to me and say, who's your hero?
And I said, I don't know.
I got to think about that. Give me a couple of weeks. I come back, two weeks later, this.
Person comes up and says.
Who'S your hero? I said, I thought about it. You know who it is? I said, it's me in 10 years. So I turned 25. Ten years later, that same person comes to me and goes, so, are you a hero? And I was like, not even close. No, no, no. She said, why? I said, because my hero is me at 35. So you see, every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away.
I'm never gonna be my hero. I'm not gonna attain that.
I know I'm not.
And that's just fine with me. Cause that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
So many.
Of us, whatever those things are, whatever it is we look up to, whatever it is we look forward to and whoever it is we're chasing. To that I say, amen. To that, I say, all right, all right, all right.
That I say, just keep living, huh? Thank you.
