Have you ever felt like you are the hero of your own journey and adventure? Well, maybe this is why you still lack self realization.

For the longest time in my life I identified with the hero who needed to fight enemies in order to win. However, such win consisted in mere survival, from battle to battle, from fight to fight. Well, there are times in life when it isn’t always possible to thrive and all we can do is to survive instead. For the first time this year, however, I was able to make sure such survival would serve me and not vice versa. Sometimes in fact surviving doesn’t require fighting, it requires running! Run away from what is not meant for you in order to run toward what is meant for you instead.

Just as rejections are an indication for another direction. The direction that is meant for me and toward which I can run. This way I stop playing the HERO Archetype to personify the MAGICIAN Archetype instead: the one who paves the way as they are the source of it.

This also has to do with another question I often ask myself — what would the MATURE version of ME do to face such situations and circumstances? How would I describe my current situation and circumstances years from now, through retrospective, to make sure they led me to exactly where I want to be? Well, the mature me gets ready for success instead of failure. The Mature Me makes sure to be equipped for the life I wanna live.

So, instead of auto sabotaging myself with the hero mindset or with the victim mindset, I try to personify the VISION I have for myself in order to transmute it into a VERSION of myself. This is the magician mindset.

In order to do so I came to deal with ANTICIPATION. This couple of years I felt like I was putting together the trailer for the life I wanna live, the story I wanna tell. I felt like I was previewing it all, I was anticipating it by attracting it.

However, as you face challenges, anticipation can also morph into the resistance to the contrast, the instant moment which precedes the change to get to the other side of the challenge.

People who deal with addictions train to hold on to this resistance and to release it without giving in to the impulse.

However, it’s also something which whoever is on the spectrum like me deals with everyday: it’s a weird suspension of the space time which can prevent us from doing the most mundane chores. Yet this altered perception of space time is also the perfect chance to quantum leap into other dimensions. I realized you can learn to manage such anticipation to make sure it serves you through practice.

It’s like managing the adrenaline from a roller coaster ride: as the chains of the engine pull you up on the slope, you can anticipate the sensation of the crazy drop and fall which will follow. It’s an uncomfortable sensation, because it goes against preservation, yet you know it will be worth it. Maybe it will actually be fun.

There are rides we can’t avoid in life yet we can try to enjoy them by managing the anticipation and knowing it will all be worth it. This is how I’m trying to remove myself from a place of blockage.
