I find a lot of inspiration in larger than life figures like Ghandi, MLK etc. but the people I think of as heroes are often just the regular folks who do extraordinary things. I think of my friends as heroes. Whether remaining committed to a dream against all the odds, or owning up to a mistake, I know their struggles so intimately that their courage is heroic to me.
