Not all HEROs are fanciful figures wearing spandex outfits

We all have pictures and images of what a HERO is. Usually it's some fanciful figure or someone we consider larger than life who has performed a spectacular feat producing a positive outcome. Spandex outfits with capes are optional.

But let's examine a little more closely what a HERO really is. We propose that when we take a really good look at things through the light of gratitude, and peel away the superhuman aspects like being able to fly or see through walls, we all have the inherent ability to be ourselves and still do ordinary things producing extraordinary results. By being our best selves, it is possible for all of us to be a HERO to someone, in our own unique way.
