Secret Heroes

When we were young we pretended that we could fly and save the world. We saw the good in the world and wanted to be part of it. When did we stop seeing the real heroes around us? Or stop wanting to be “just like them when we grew up”? There are heroes all around us, whether it’s the husband fighting in the war or the EMT who came to the rescue for a choking baby and her panicked mother. A hero can even be someone who gives a few encouraging words. With those few words they may change that person’s life forever without even realizing it. Everyone has the potential to change the world in some way. No matter how small they think it is, everyone has a hero inside of them. We walk by these heroes everyday without even realizing it. No, they don’t climb buildings, fly, swing from webs, or have superpowers but, they make a difference in the world. In the end that’s all that really makes you a hero. It’s not the powers you have but, the impact you have on the world and the people in it.
