I admire people who re-create themselves. And it seems to me that what gives us all the opportunity to be heroic in our own lives is that we work to heal ourselves and be better than we were yesterday.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.
People aren't universally heroic.
Heroic people take risks to themselves to help others. There's nothing heroic about accepting $5 million to go out and run around chasing a ball, although you may show fortitude or those other qualities while you do it.
I think we all see ourselves as the heroes in our own lives.
There are a lot of people who can be classified as heroes and do great things and inspire me.
I don't think most people are all heroic or all villainous, so I find ambiguity of motivations to be a natural human condition.
Day after day, ordinary people become heroes through extraordinary and selfless actions to help their neighbors.
When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.
The opportunities for heroism are limited in this kind of world: the most people can do is sometimes not to be as weak as they've been at other times.
