Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Why You Should Be a Hero in Individual Aspects of Your Life

“Be a hero by seeing what others choose not to see.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a good day to reflect on what the definition of a hero is, and who is or can be a hero. To me, the definition of a hero is somebody who can see ahead of the curve; somebody who can see things that other people either cannot, or choose not, to see. When the status quo is strong in culture, such as segregation was during the days of Martin Luther King Jr., it can be extremely difficult to see past preconceived notions of how things should be. But that’s exactly what makes a hero, and that is what we should be striving for in every individual area of our lives. So take a careful look at the status quo, and where it might be wrong. Examine your life, and work to take it to the next level in every area. Work towards becoming a hero. “Life is like a videogame: Always be working to go to the next level.” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind Heroes die too early, compared with all the idiots in the world whose years combined equal far more If it doesn’t exist and it’s needed, that means you should be the one to create it - if you have that skill set The status quo, regardless of how bad it is, is very hard to recognize as wrong at the moment it is the status quo The definition of a hero to me is somebody who sees ahead of the curve.
