Thought

When we look at a statue
OF SOMEONE GREAT,
we think they've got something we don't
We are trained to think that only a tiny percentage
of us have the stuff it takes to be a hero.
Not many of us will cure any diseases,
or slay any dragons, but every single one of us,
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US,
is called to be a king, a queen, a hero in
our ordinary lives. We don't build statues to
worship the exceptional life, we build them
TO REMIND OURSELVES WHAT IS
POSSIBLE IN OUR OWN.
