Hero- a person admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
We need more heroes in the world today to help save the day. Since that is the case, I think we should look around and see the hero that can exist inside each of us. Being a hero doesn’t mean you need to have special powers; it merely means that you need to look inside yourself and find the courage to do what you know is right. Please step away from the fear that lives in us all and take actions today that are heroic. The hero inside you will arise when you begin to develop a consciousness of how your actions affect the lives of others. Usually, this involves overcoming your fears of failure, success, or what others think of you. It all begins with paying attention to your thoughts at the moment, understanding the emotions they bring, managing your words expressing this to others, and taking manageable actions with a purpose. That will make you a hero.
There are times in life where we all need saving. We need someone to tell us that it will all be alright. Even if we can’t seem to find the way, you can be that person to someone else with a little bit of open-mindedness and understanding. Look at what others are saying and doing, and see where you can help and be that hero for someone.
The Hero is Authentic
Why would you want to be anyone else when you look at it? You are a unique, one-of-a-kind gift. Only you can give the world your tips, and they 
are great and powerful. Yet, we hide behind the perceived expectations of society or someone else, limiting our actions and accomplishments. Be yourself, and your natural talent and the joy it brings will shine through.
All heroes are authentic. When you are yourself, you will find out what your power is. No longer will you rely on others for your happiness. There is joy in being who you are. You will also find that people of a similar belief system will come into your life. It will also allow you to be more accepting of others. There is no need to change anyone’s behavior because you know who you are and what you value. The hero is authentic and acts that way.
The Hero is Brave
There are always situations that challenge us in life. Some are from outside influences, and others, more daunting, are inside us. The hero faces all challenges and shrinks from none. When they see a change is needed, 
they devise a strategy and action. Sometimes the bravest thing we do is take action when we want to hide. Even if we have failed to take action a thousand times before, the heroic option is still there for us.
Now. This moment. This time is all that counts. To be our true heroic selves in trying to accomplish the things we want, help others, or make the world a better place. Being brave is often the most courageous thing a person can do and one of the most powerful for their self-development, primarily when they can act positively despite their doubt and fear. Be brave and be a hero today by taking action you know is right.
A Hero Lifts Others Up
Making the welfare of another a priority for you is what heroes do. This attitude means that you are not judgmental when you look at others. You accept who someone is and know what you can do to assist them on their journey. You don’t have to jump into burning buildings or do anything physically dangerous. Lifting another up begins with accepting their humanity. There goes a different version of you.
With different experiences and choices, you could be living in the exact situation as anyone else on the face of the Earth. Helping the hero in others rise to the top is one of the valuable jobs a person performs in life. Give others a chance to grow by providing them with your respect, understanding, trust, faith, and love. Not everyone will be at the same stage or knowledge of life as you. In fact, the more you learn about the experience, the more you know you will never understand it all. That makes the steps you take to lift others even more heroic. Be someone’s hero today!
Wear a Cape
All heroes wear capes. They are not very functional, but they look good in the costume. In life, you should always wear an invisible cloak that carries with it a reminder of what you stand for. Others will ridicule, belittle, and 
criticize, and people do this to build themselves up and make themselves feel important. Your cape protects you from the slings and arrows of small minds. But more importantly, it reminds you of who you are.
Each of us has a hero inside that is willing to do the right thing. Be ready to help others. They are eager to be decisive, engaging, humble, kind, caring, considerate, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Your cape reminds you of these things. You are capable of being a hero today, and you should look for opportunities where you can put your powers into action. Your actions could save someone just by reminding them of their humanity. Be a hero today; the world is depending on you.
“Challenges don’t make heroes. When the situations arise, so does the hero inside us all. “
“A hero is someone who, despite weakness, doubt, or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.” ~ Christopher Reeve
