The world can be a daunting place.  People can be mean and things do not always turn out like we want them to.  Sometimes our lives can feel out of control – or we can feel numb because we have been through so much that we have thrown up protective walls.

Some days it can feel heroic to get out of bed.  That is okay.  We can be heroes.

Being a hero does not always mean saving the world.  Sometimes it can mean just putting the next foot down and taking the next step.  Sometimes it can mean pressing on when we really feel challenged.  Being a hero means to keep on going – even when the going gets rough.

We can be our own heroes.  Just take the next step.
