Who do I want to be a hero to?

Who do I want to be a hero to?

Sunday, June 25th, 2023

Life is a fleeting journey, and when we take a moment to reflect, we realize that it is composed of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. As humans, we naturally seek social connections, and the quality of those connections profoundly impacts our happiness and sense of self-worth. Often, without even realizing it, we seek approval from others. However, it is important to understand whose approval truly matters to us and whose does not.

Warren Buffett, when asked about measuring a successful life, eloquently stated that it lies in whether the people we want to love us actually do. Once we identify those who matter to us, we can:

• Create value for them with our time, knowledge, and resources.
• Make them the driving force behind our goals.
• Prioritize our relationships accordingly.
• Adjust how we spend our time to be more present for those who matter.
• Limit or eliminate time spent with people who don't hold significance in our lives.

The term "hero" refers not to someone in need of rescue, but rather to the people we aspire to support, protect, influence, uplift, and serve as role models for. Below, I offer some recommended resources to assist you on this journey. I’ll post my reflection on Wednesday afternoon on my Instagram page .?
