Letting The Hero Die

I find benefit in letting go of any identifying of myself including identifying as the hero. Identifying defines and limits me as I try to fit the identification rather than for me to accept and be myself. I have often tried to impress, didn't impress, and was left feeling shattered. Being a slow learner, I tried to hide my disappointment and feeling shattered, and I repeated my silly effort many times for a long time. Eventually I learned and let go of that effort or at least much of it which led to a deeper positive sense of humility and understanding. That learning helped me embrace some humility and let go of the part of me that needs to win recognition or whatever and be myself which allows life in its vastness to embrace me.
