Legacy of Firsts
The greatest stories are those where the hero accepts the challenge no one else dares; to overcome adversity and accomplish the unimaginable.
They become the first to take a step toward the unknown, serving as inspiration for others to follow in the trail they blaze.
The legacy these heroes leave should cause us to pause and reflect on our own lives and how we can dare to turn dreams into reality; to sacrifice for the betterment of those dearest to us, for a community, or a nation; or to leave the world around us better than how we found it.
