As I reflect on the events of 9/11/01, I think of the heroic acts of men & women to help others out of harm’s way. #MondayMotivation

 

What does it take to be a hero? Is it simply bravery or courage? Surely those are two characteristics. #MondayMotivation

 

But I believe heroes are present everyday! You can be a hero in someone’s life today. #MondayMotivation

 

To the busy mother in need of relief, you can be a hero if you offer to keep the kids. #MondayMotivation

 

To the elderly man alone in the nursing home, your visit could be perceived as a heroic act in his life. #MondayMotivation

 

You see heroism is just as much about selflessness as it is courage or bravery. #MondayMotivation

 

Heroes selflessly give of their time to help others. Heroes selflessly sacrifice their welfare to assure another’s. #MondayMotivation

 

Today I encourage you to be a hero to someone else. What selfless gesture can you make to give someone else the advantage?  #MondayMotivation

 

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.  ~Winston Churchill  #MondayMotivation

 

Perhaps you can be a hero by sitting down to listen to someone who needs to be heard. #MondayMotivation

 

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson #MondayMotivation

 

Perhaps you can be a hero to someone else by simply choosing to “be there” when everyone else has left. #MondayMotivation

 

No matter who you are or what you’ve done in your past, today you can choose to be a hero to someone else. #MondayMotivation

 

You know, heroes are ordinary people that have achieved extraordinary things in life. ~Dave Winfield #MondayMotivation

 

Won’t you do something extraordinary in some one’s life today? #MondayMotivation

Thank you for reading #MondayMotivation. Make a difference. Be a hero!
