A hero is someone who is willing to lose...
whatever stands in the way of the authentic self,
who has the courage to seek truth no matter what,
whatever stands in the way of the authentic self,
who has the courage to seek truth no matter what,
who sees dark times as a sacred passage...
for new understanding,
for new understanding,
who transforms loss into compassion,
and who uses adversity to become stronger.
