You Too Can Be A Hero !


When things go bad, do you wait for a HERO or you get up and become one?

Aren't we all smitten by "Heroes" and secretly yearn to be one, especially when crisis hit us hard?

There's always a HERO lurking inside us and it does not take much to bring it to the fore. A bit of clarity and courage is all that's needed to summon the hero within. A HERO has all the ingredients of being a saviour and crusader of hope. 

Let's see what makes a HERO and how each one of us too could become one  

H - Hopeful, Helpful

When negativity is in the air, the HERO in us could help survive this fear and uncertainity by having/ providing hopes of good times ahead. The HERO in us could take a lead in providing a helping hand to those who are struggling to come to terms with reality or finding it difficult to cope with the times. This could make a huge difference to the struggling souls.    

E - Empathetic, Empowered

Only when we start relating to the feeling of others is when we start invoking the HERO in us. Put yourself in the shoes of others and feel their pain to establish connection and trust. Motivate others to feel empowered enough to take control of their lives and actions   

R - Resilient, Realistic

As goes the famous quote, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going" and so should a HERO also behave/ act. Standing tall in the face of adversity and bouncing back whenever needed will ensure riding over the tough times with ease. Be a HERO by doing a reality check of things (as they stand in present) and then acting accordingly so that it doesn't dampen the surviving spirit.  

O - Optimistic, Open 

It is so easy to send the HERO (in us) off to a slumber when in a state of gloom. Looking at what we can change will make the road smoother and open up new opportunities. A HERO is open to taking actions (however small they may be) and trying out new things (experimenting) to keep the door open for new possibilities.     

So, stop waiting for a HERO. Brace up to be one and make a difference!
