A hero acts with integrity, compassion, and conviction. They have beliefs but their beliefs do not have them; they understand that change happens, even to our beliefs, True champions do not judge others’ ideology, faith, or views. Instead, they seek to understand, bridge differences, and promote peace. Mythical heroes sometimes flew, but a real hero’s feet are firmly on the ground where they are not above us. Yet they are often unwittingly in front of us, leading by example and with courage.  Whatever bold act, honorable stand, radical kindness, sacrifice, or generosity done by a hero, they do not look for adulation, a spotlight, or honours. They are aware the reward is in knowing they did their best, were true to themselves, and served others – that they were the hero they were meant to be.

There is no need to label people as heroes. Everyone has the same capacity for good and evil. One person’s hero is another person’s villain.

What are heroes?

Heroes make me feel happy about the world because it proves that there are good people.

A hero is selfless, a genuinely good person, and someone gets the undivided attention of all of us and causes change. Someone willing to risk their own life to save another.
