We Have to be Heroes


“Every single one of us has to be a hero at sometime in our lives.” - Armstrong, Karen. A Short History of Myth. Alfred A Knopf, 2005 pg 37.

Notice how this quote doesn’t say, “get to” it says “has to.” This basically means that we are all heroes.

At one point in our lives we will be called upon to do something heroic. This doesn’t mean that we have to be superheroes. We don’t need to show superhuman strength. Everyday interaction can be heroic. Showing compassion for someone, helping out, volunteering; all of these things can mean a lot to someone.

Happy Monday Everyone!
