Everyone has it in them to be a hero. 

Everyone who reads about those men and women, who stood up for what they believed in, who sacrificed everything for a passion or love, who took a step into a place where no one had ever stood before has what it takes to be among those names. You don't have to be the bravest or the strongest: you simply have to believe in something enough to overcome all odds, to conquer every obstacle and succeed.

You need to do what all those people have done before you—jump that first hurdle, write that first word, paint that first stroke. Take that first step. For it is in you to be a hero—the only question is whether or not you know it.
