HERO or HERD?

The other day, my son forgot his alto saxophone and asked me to bring it to school for him. Since he doesn’t normally forget his stuff, I brought it to him. On my way home from school, the license plate on the car right in front of me caught my attention. In all capital letters the license plate reads “THEHERD.” Quickly I snapped a picture of it with my iPhone.

My first impression was “THE HERO“, and I thought to myself: How fitting…. Think about all the things we do as parents, every single day, for our children. While most are mundane and even trivial, some of the stuff we do are nothing short of heroic. We do it willingly, and we don’t need a medal or a fancy Batmobile, either. I felt a deep sense of pride, thinking “I’m a SHERO who drives a minivan.”

When I got home and had a closer look at the picture, I realized that the license plate reads “THE HERD“, not “THE HERO.” The capital D looks like O from a distance. Haha! Obviously I could use a stronger prescription for my contact lens.

How abut you? What did you see at first glance? THE HERO or THE HERD?

Then it dawned on me that this was yet another “Message from the Universe” for me.

You see, I often receive signs and messages from the Universe through license plates, songs on the radio, animals, message from other people, etc. The messages are often timely and profound. Of course, the more I learn to pay attention, the more messages I receive.

In this case, I was thinking about writing an article on courage the night before, and there it was, right in front of me, “THE HERO” in big, bold capital letters!!

Of course, I know what you’re thinking: “But it says THE HERD, not THE HERO on the license plate! You read it wrong!”

Did I?

I believe that we have a way of seeing what our heart (or Soul, or the Universe) wants us to see, if we are being open and present enough. There’s no doubt in my mind why I was seeing THE HERO instead of THE HERD. For one, I’d rather be a HERO (or I should say SHERO) for my children, instead of someone who just herds them around town. I want to be someone who fiercely protects them, stands up for them, and be a good role model for them.

Same for my own life. I’d rather be a HERO on my own journey, blazing my own path, taking whatever risks to live my destiny. I’m no longer willing to keep my head down, silence my voice, compromise my values, conform to rules and expectations that are not aligned with my true self, or stay faceless, voiceless and powerless in a HERD on a beaten path leading AWAY from my soul’s purpose. You might think it’s safer to say in a HERD. There’s safety in numbers, right? Not necessarily.

Every time you do things that are against your values, every time you ignore that quiet whisper from the core of your being, or give up your voice and your self-respect, in order to play safe, to please others, to avoid being judged, rejected or ridiculed, you are giving up a small piece of your true self. You are slowly but surely killing your Soul. It is painful not knowing your purpose in life. It’s even MORE painful when you know, deep in your Soul, what your calling is, why you are here in this lifetime, yet for whatever reason you are denying it, turning away from it, standing by the sideline and not able to LIVE it.

I saw very clearly this kind of suffocating anxiety and soul-murdering angst in quite a few entries in my ONE DECISION Challenge in the past week. Most of them know their life purpose and why they want to achieve their goals. Their goals are all different and personal. However, when asked what’s keeping them from living their purpose and reaching their goals, their answers were awfully similar: Lack of courage, confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, self-discipline, accountability and/or know-how. I can totally relate, because just a few short years ago, I was there. Lost. Paralyzed by fears. Feeling powerless. Filled with anxiety, guilt, shame and self-loathing. Now I’m crystal clear why I’m here and I’m on the right path.

It takes tremendous courage to go after your dream, to stand up for what you believe, to speak your truth, to be a leader, or, just to be YOU. You might have a vision to inspire and serve a certain population, to make a change or a difference through your business. You might have a personal goal of creating a better life for yourself and your family. Maybe you wish to be a role model for your children, or for your parents to be proud of you. Or, maybe you just want to feel good in your own skin and finally be at peace with who you truly are.

No matter what your goal is, it requires you to muster up your courage and take a stand. It requires you to be the HERO on your own journey, instead of staying in the HERD. What do you stand for? Who/what will you fiercely protect and defend? What are you willing to invest (time, money, energy, hard work)? What are you willing to risk and sacrifice?

The more important question is: WHO will you be? THE HERO or THE HERD? It’s time for you to make a choice.

Dragon, Second Chance and One Decision

Happy Chinese New Year!! As I was reflecting last night, my heart was filled with JOY and gratitude for all the LOVE and riches in my life. My family enjoyed a great Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner together, and we called our parents, in-laws and relatives in Taiwan to wish them Happy Chinese New Year. What an amazing year 2011 has been, and I know I have so much to look forward to in 2012!!

Actually, we ALL do.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve had lots of triumphs or rock bottom defeats last year, you’ve been given a second chance today to start anew. It doesn’t matter if you have not started your 2012 on the right track, or, you might be falling off the wagon in terms of your New Year’s Resolutions. You’ve been given a second chance today.

Why? You see, today is Chinese New Year’s Day, the beginning of Year 4710. And it’s not just any Chinese New Year, either. This is the Year of the Dragon, one of the most powerful in the Chinese Zodiac. This is one of the reasons I LOVE my culture, because Chinese New Year always comes after the “regular” New Year. That means, I’ll always get a second chance to re-start my New Year. And now that you know this, YOU are given a second chance today too!

Where do you start? You start by making ONE DECISION. In The Keeper of the Keys movie, I talked about the ONE DECISION that saved my life. It was truly a pivotal moment that changed my life forever, and I still remember that moment of awakening so vividly after twenty years. I was in my twenties and just moved from Asia to US, far away from all my friends and families. Back then, I had very low self-esteem and as a result my relationships with men were a string of disasters. I kept attracting guys who didn’t love or appreciate me for who I was, and I kept bending backwards for them, trying to earn their love and approval. After 3 guys IN A ROW cheated on me, I completely fell apart! All the childhood emotional trauma came back and I fell into the deep abyss of depression. For months I was on the brink of suicide, until one morning I woke up. I mean I REALLY woke up and got angry! I realized that those men were not worthy of my love and I deserve so much more! That morning I made ONE DECISION: If nobody in the world will love me, I will love myself. If I can’t fit in or blend in anywhere, I will stand out and be who I am. If I were to have any chance at success or happiness, I must learn to believe in myself and do it MY WAY.

That ONE DECISION saved my life and turned my life around.

Now it’s YOUR turn: What is the one thing you’d like to change this year that will make the MOST difference in your life? And what is the ONE DECISION you have to make in order to achieve that?

My invitation is for you to make that ONE DECISION today. Declare it right here, right now by leaving a comment on this post. Say it loud and clear for the whole world to hear. It’s your declaration to the Universe!!

To support you, I’m going to give away TWO prizes!! The first prize is a one-hour telephone coaching session with me (the coaching session is valued at $400, and your transformation from coaching is PRICELESS), and the second prize is an AUTOGRAPHED DVD of my new movie The Keeper of the Keys, which I co-star with Jack Canfield, Marci Shimoff and John Gray. You will learn how to master the 7 keys that can change your life, and have a good laugh (serious) along the way! You’ll probably cry when you watch my segment, so have your Kleenex ready. You’ve been warned. By the way, the DVDs are ready for order on my website. Order now so you can receive the special discounted price, plus there are some special bundles to choose from. As soon as I receive them (should be in a week or so), I will be able to ship them to you.

OK, how do you win the prizes? By entering the ONE DECISION CHALLENGE! It’s really easy. All you have to do is fill out a simple entry survey telling me what is the one thing you want to change/achieve this year, what is the ONE DECISION you need to make in order to achieve it, 3 reasons you want to achieve it, and 3 reasons why you think coaching with me will help you achieve your goal (psst, this is the part where you need to WOW me).

That’s the gist of it. Simply fill out the ONE DECISION CHALLENGE entry survey BEFORE 5PM EST on January 31, and you will be entered into the contest. I will personally read every single entry, and choose the best response as the winner. By completing the entry survey, you will come away as a WINNER whether you win the challenge or not. Because of the way I designed this entry survey, if nothing else, you will gain valuable clarity and resolution for achieving your goal. That alone could make or break your goal, so it’s PRICELESS!

So go ahead and take the ONE DECISION CHALLENGE entry survey now.

“Hueina Su is a remarkable woman. She shares her story of growing up in a culture that was restrictive to her character. The ways of her society left her feeling unworthy and limited. The great thing about Hueina’s story is that you don’t have to come from her culture, or share her experiences to understand. Many of us have felt unworthy whether it comes from an outside source, or from within. But Hueina’s words words will show you that YOU have the power within you to feel worthy. Her experiences were all she knew. These words that were spoken to her were ingrained in her brain since childhood. However, she managed to discover how to empower herself and change her beliefs. And from that she created a very fulfilling life. And she’ll teach you how to also. Hueina Su is empowering, uplifting, but most of all relatable. You will see yourself in her, and you will see a new perspective on life through her. Thank you Hueina.” – Karissa Barcelo, “The Keeper of the Keys” 1st Assistant Director

“Hueina Su is truly an inspiration to all who have the honor of hearing her story. I was recently incredibly touched by her segment in the movie, The Keeper of the Keys, in which she shares her experience and displays great courage and enlightenment in overcoming a major obstacle laid before her at birth. Hueina was taught as a Chinese girl that she was not as important as a boy…nor was she as wanted as a boy. It takes my breath away to imagine the personal toll such misguided teaching has taken on each and every Chinese female who has been subjected to such negative programming, not to mention the great loss that has been suffered by Chinese society and the entire world. Hueina’s steadfast strength, courage, intellect, and her innate female wisdom to perceive truth has enabled her to step out of the darkness forced upon her and find the light within to believe in herself and realize her true magnificent value as a human being, regardless of her sex. For standing up against a belief that is so deeply ingrained in a society and for helping the world to see just how negative the ramifications can be of such an outdated, counteractive mindset, Hueina Su is a hero paving a bright new path for not only Chinese women, but for an entire planet filled with beautiful girls and boys who are equally important and have something spectacular to contribute to our world.” – Llynda More, singer, Llynda More & Mark Gendel
