“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
Helen Keller
We all admire certain famous people in history or among our relatives and circle of friends. Such people stick out and represent the best of what it means to be a good human being. They show us how to get difficult things done and demonstrate incredible character. We may even call some of these people ‘our hero’. How does this happen? Let’s explore what makes such people so admirable.
I was inspired by the chapter called “Be the Guy” from the Awesome Life book. In that chapter, there are 2 stories of heroic courage, ingenuity, and consistent forward progress. These are attributes anyone who wants to be known as the reliable guy or ‘get it done’ person has. They don’t make excuses or try to find a way out of doing the task.
Once a person decides they need to get something done, they commit to a plan of action and execute it. This is the first step and drives the rest of the process. Consistently moving the ball forward, no matter what. Such people are recognized as doers and action-oriented vs those who merely think about problems and discuss possible solutions without actually trying to do anything about them.
Whatever happens on the journey, the noble person focused on a mission has a ‘do or die’ mentality. They can endure hardship and temporary setbacks, but they WON’T GIVE UP. They will stay resolute in their determination to complete the task. That persistence and grit are essential if you want to keep moving forward in your own life and achieve your goals.
The people we truly respect and admire don’t “perform” for applause, likes, or fame. They do it because it’s part of who they are! They show up, ask how they can help, complete the task, and move on. They aren’t seeking thanks or any kind of reward. That’s what makes them truly special. They are the everyday heroes in our lives and show us the way forward. If we all borrowed some of their courage, persistence, and humility, we too could become the kind of people we would call Awesome!
Have An Awesome Day!
