Being a hero is about selflessness and genuine concern for your fellow human beings. There are times when we witness a heroic act; saving a person from a burning building or diving in to save a drowning child. But most heroic deeds go unnoticed and uncelebrated. Even the hero does not know the impact of his or her actions. It might have been an act as simple as a smile and kind word to a stranger or the donation of an item that changed another person’s life.
The point is that we all have the opportunity to be someone’s hero each and every day. We might not see the end result, but if we see the opportunity and seize it, that is all that matters. What appears to be a simple act to you could be life-altering or lifesaving to another.
