Would You Recognize A Hero?

What does a Hero look like?   Well we know that many men and women put their lives on the line every day for perfect strangers.  Some do it as part of their job, occupation and others simply choose at a moments notice to give it all for someone in need.  

They may not intend to pay the ultimate sacrifice but at times
they do simply because they refuse to abandon the weak or
those who need the most.

But what if everyday, we walk past a hero, would we recognize them if they had no uniform?  Would we know their sacrifice if they did not share their story?  The truth is we wouldn't, yet everyday someone gives the very best of them to someone.   It can be to a loved one, to a co-worker, to someone on the bus, or someone they just happen to pass on the street.

Sometimes a smile is all they gave, yet saved the life of someone who felt invisible.  Sometimes just saying hello to a stranger as your kids roll their eyes, cause you seem to say hello to everyone, sometimes that hello, reminds someone that they are worth being acknowledged.  Holding the door for someone may tell them that they are not too fat, or too ugly or too skinny or too "whatever" to be treated as a human being.

Do you realize that everyday we have the ability to be someone's hero, we do not need to be recognized as such but to that one person who we may never see again, we may be just that,
"A Hero". You may not remember their face, yet your face will forever be in there memory...,,Why?  Because you took one moment out of your day to care.

What does a Hero look like?  What should they look like?  I don't know....but I do think a hero can look just like you.  All it takes to be a hero is to care; to care so much that you will extend your hand to that person no matter their race, color, ethnicity, height, weight.......no matter what because all you see is a person in need.   All it takes to be a hero is to intentionally give the very best of you, not because its expected but because its what you want to do.   All it takes to be a hero is to recognize that you are not just you, but you are part of something bigger....your divine essence is part of a Universe in where we are all connected and through that connection we all come together as one.  All it takes to be a hero is to recognize that you are my sister, my brother, my friend and as such, there is no divide but instead just love.

What does a Hero look like.........A Hero looks like YOU.
