Ralph Zuranski has researched heroes, heroism, and the 12 roles of the heroes’ journey for over 50 years. He discovered that heroism is easier to understand, when you analyze the different events and people in your life, considering the 12 roles: Innocent, Orphan, Warrior, Caregiver, Seeker, Lover, Destroyer, Creator, Ruler, Magician, Sage and Fool. It is much easier for you to deal with your triumphs, trials, tribulations, and transformations when you embrace and live your own unique heroes’ journey. As a Special Features writer for the Coronado Eagle newspaper in San Diego, he wrote articles about local heroes who were making a positive difference in the community. He created the “In Search of Heroes” program to encourage high school journalism students to ask questions about heroes, heroism and the heroes’ journey. The goal was to inspire young people to research the concept of heroes, heroism, and their own heroes' journey, so they could write their own story, to thank and honor the heroes and heroines in their lives. Hopefully, their stories would inspire other students and the community. During his research, Ralph realized the best way to honor the heroes in your life is to write an exciting, emotionally engaging story about your heroes' journey. The goal is to share how the heroes and heroines in your life impacted your journey. It is important to thank and honor the people who made and continue to make a positive difference in your life. They helped and continue to assist you in triumphing over the situations and thought processes that block your emotional and spiritual growth. They help you to become the person you were created to be, so you can complete your unique mission here on earth. By writing your heroes' journey story about them and their impact on your life, you pass on to future generations the wisdom you have gained. By honoring them on your social media accounts, you give the recognition they deserve.
