We are both the Hero and the Monster in our lives. It feels as though we’re slaying Monsters outside ourselves, but that’s just an illusion. The Monster is within us.
What does the Monster look like?
It could look like drama
It could look like our feelings are hurt
Like we’re offended
Like denial
Like a grudge
Like jealousy
Like indignation
Fear
Entitlement
Callousness
Greed
Do you see the Monster now? The Monster is our perspective, in other words, we either conjure up a big Monster or a little Monster depending on how we’re reacting, how we interpret a situation, or how we filter our perspective through the state of our morals, the definition of our values.
Once we understand this, we control the Monster. If we fail to understand this, the Monster will control us.
