You can be a hero and may not even realize it. I notice how there is a lot of movies being made about super heros, and the people seem to really enjoy watching them. I see how the kids really love to watch them and hear them say that they want to be a super hero. We are humans, so we do not have the powers that the super heros do in those stories. But we do have more power to do things than we realize. We seem to think that if it is not something big that we can do no good. When if each of us would remember that small acts of kindness, a helping hand etc... could do more than we realize, we could really do a lot.
There is so many things that we could do, if we would sit down and think about all of them. A small act of kindness could even help save another person's life. By that I mean, say a depressed person was thinking of killing theirself and you happen to come along with a kind and caring word. That kind word could let them know that someone does care. Teaching the kids to do those small acts of kindness could help out so many people and also teach the kids something that would be good for them to learn. They love to play heros and want to feel that they could do something that would make them a hero.
Sometimes a person may say what can I do to help, I do not have the money to help. It does not take money to do small acts of kindness to help out others and make a big difference in the world. The next time that you feel like there is nothing that you can do, think of what your small act of kindness could mean to someone else. And then go do that kindness and see what a difference that you have made, when you hear the thank you or see the smile.
