How to Be a Hero

I've thought a bit about what it takes to be a hero. Many heroes do brave, noble, good things which often involve some amount of danger. But unlike superheroes and D&D heroes, real-world heroes don't often have to throw themselves into combat, at least not physically. To be a real-world hero, sometimes all it takes is to inspire others and do good deeds. By that metric, anyone can be a hero. Anyone can do good deeds and inspire others to do the same. We don't have to be "super" to be heroes. Any of us can be heroes. I can be a hero to at least a handful of people, and so can you.
