Are You a Hero?

A hero has many faces. He can be tall or short. He can be dead or alive. He can be a she. Everyone has their own definition of a hero. You are the judge.

My goal in life is to make a difference in someone else's life. Be different. Be remarkable. I want to be a hero.

I came up with this ridiculous goal because I have many heroes. My heroes have all contributed in some way to my development as a person. Some of my heroes are famous, others are just people I know. Everyone knows Warren Buffet and Sam Walton. But, I doubt that many people know my parents or my wife. I'd be a different person if I had not followed in my heroes footsteps.

Aspiring to be a hero means that you have to be accountable. You lead by example. Your actions and your words motivate someone else. That's powerful stuff.
