Heroes

We all have heroes. Some of my heroes are Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Joan of Arch, Helen Keller, Lance Armstrong, Napoleon Hill, Joseph Smith and my ultimate hero is Jesus Christ. I found a new hero Nick Vujicic from Australia. He was born with no arms and no legs and he is an intensely valiant and noble faith filled man. Check it out and tell me what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DxlJWJ_WfA&NR=1

We can be a hero. We can be heroes to our children, spouse, family, friends and everyone around us. Most importantly we need to be our own heroes. We need to inspire ourselves to be better than we thought we could be. We need to see ourselves over come obstacles again and again. We all have strength and potential that only opposition can bring to the surface. Why do we see trials as sorrow filled? These trials are the very thing that springs the greatest joy and strength? I was taught; every growing thing needs a little manure. Yes, it stinks to struggle, but up blooms amazing beautiful experiences we would not have other wise. I believe “bloom where you are planted.” It is always amazing to me to see a full-grown tree growing in what appears to be a solid rock ledge. Lone trees are much stronger than those in a forest. Stand up and be counted as a hero. Look in your heart and rise to the greatness that is within you.
