You Are Hero & Author of Your Life Story
Being the Hero of your life story means you are the Main Character, but what does being the Author mean? In this 4-minute video, I share author Michael Singer's concept of the "Inner Observer," and relate it to putting on your Author hat to evaluate and improve your life.

Going through your day-to-day life, you may not feel like a "hero." Heroes are confident, right? They perform extraordinary feats. They save the day! But, being a hero is not limited to these scenarios.
Simply, by thinking of your life as an epic story, that makes you its main character, its Hero. The bonus is, that you're also its Author. In Author mode, you can tap into the quiet place in your deepest self and take a high-level look at the happenings in your life like they are events in a story.
In this four-minute video, I share how I view my Author-self as a timeless Inner Observer, and why.
Michael Singer Quote
"You will someday come to see that there is no use for that incessant internal chatter, and that there is no reason to constantly attempt to figure everything out."
-- Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul
I love this book. It helped me grasp that I am not my loud, insistent, looping, probing, restless psyche; I am the Inner Observer of it.
