Why is it Important to Have Heroes in Your Life?
Hello, Steemians!
One of the few sensations that can give the life of men some purpose to fill the emptiness of meaning is their aspiration to become like someone or achieve something of value.
These ordeals often give us a sense of meaning and we plan out our days in accordance to the steps which we will have to take in order to realize them.
Why do we need to have heroes as an aspiration in life?
To answer that question, we need to take a more attentive look at the nature of heroism.
Heroes are, in a way, the sum of what humanity has to offer. They are the best of us, always struggling to put everything right in a world where everything is going wrong.
Heroes are resilient, courageous, honest, kind, relentless, and undefeated. Simply put, they are the embodiment of the ideal values that everyone strives to achieve in their own life.
History tells us who we used to be, science tells us who we are, and heroes tell us who we want to be.
We all have our heroes. Fictional or real ones. Your hero could be a character from an old book series, or an inspiring person who has achieved a lot in their lifetime and has been influential in your own personal growth.
Whatever the case, we always need someone to look up to. This is helpful in more ways than you could expect.
For instance, a person who has a hero or a role-model to look up to will always make the right decisions in difficult situations.
When a person is facing a dilemma or an unsolvable enigma, they can always remind themselves of their heroes and their personalities, and ask the most helpful question: What would they do if they were here instead of me?
By answering that question, we become the best of what this world has to offer… just like our heroes!
But this can also be destructive in a way. There are many different characters in a story, as there are many celebrities and famous people around the world.
When you choose a role model or a person you could look up to, you need to extensively analyze and review their behavioral pattern and seek out their moral values.
Following down the path of some people would do us more harm than good. Imagine if your hero was in truth an egotistical person who only cares for himself.
Well, I don’t know about your moral values, but that is not the person I would be willing to follow in life.
Choose your heroes wisely. We all need people to look up to. Some people even go a step further and proclaim that their heroes are themselves in the near future, and the person they will grow to become.
Think about this.
Who are your heroes, and how close are you to their character?
A BIG HUG!

Very good posting Sir, you are right, someone is going to grow up in our life, or someone sees someone to motivate and that too is like a hero to us.Like there are a lot of people who go ahead in front of the difficulty in their life. And we see them when we have some difficulty in our life, we feel that why such people can face difficulties and then go ahead, why do not we?

To grow up in life and follow someone's sucess or guidance we need inspiration from someone. That inspiring person can be anyone and whom we can call a hero. My hero is my father because whenever he thought so many things about life. He achieved a lot in life and all his achievements inspire me a lot. Wherever I am stuck jn something I ask his advice. Even sometimes he doesn't know the kind of problem i am stuck but his guidance always work and helped me to come out of problem. I agree that everyone would have different perspectives in this topic and I also admit that everyone is right. Its a very personal choice nothing is wrong in that. Thanks @chbartist for the post

That's a good point. I never thought of heroes as the "sum of what humanity has to offer." I also like what you said about heros "telling us who we want to be." I think those are great points among others. I agree that we should choose our heros wisely. I'd have to think a bit who my heros are..

A hero is somebody who gives of himself, frequently putting his very own life at incredible hazard, for more prominent's benefit of others. In any case, for example, in war circumstances, what is useful for others will dependably separate supposition into contradicting camps. ... "Hero" is dreadfully frequently connected nowadays absent much idea.

Saludos @chbartist! Soy venezolano, en este sentido quiero honrar a él Sr Simón Díaz, conocido como el “Tío Simon”, fue un cantautor venezolano que llevo el genero de música popular venezolana a todo el mundo! El Tío Simón es mi héroe.
I love to be inspired by heroes and mentors that demonstrate how adversity can be overcome! They present the ability for humans to be powerful and independent individuals in a collective society!

It is true that the influence of the hero in our lives remains and we always keep on inspiring them and this is a good thing.

Long ago that I don't have a hero in my life. According to your recommendations I will look for one. If Juan Guaidó able to hell out Nicolas Maduro and the government of villains out of Venezuela, no doubt he will be my hero ha ha ha. Greetings.
Everyone needs a role model to follow in his life. Heroes of faith and of great deeds are an inspiration to the fainting hearts. They provide maps of the path of life to go on and spark a light of hope to the weary.

I completely agree that it is very important to choose the right heroes to have in our lives. In an age where we are constantly surrounded by social media that is full of Kim Kardashian's, as a woman, I fear for the young girls growing up in a world where they are constantly being told what is beautiful in the most superficial sense. All this does is hurt their self image and teach them a very messed up set of values. Of course this also applies for men as well who believe they have to be overly masculine, fit and good with the ladies but I can really only speak from the female perspective. The world needs more messages like this one. Heroes should be role models that set good examples and put others first. I hope to witness a shift in culture where being "sexy and rich" is not the criteria required to be a role model but rather morals and values. Thank you for the great post!
