Not all heroes wear capes. You might not think of yourself as a hero, but every time you create value for others, you're benefiting people and making life easier or better for them in some way.

The question is, "Who do you want to be a hero to?" By identifying the key audience you want to create value for, you focus yourself on the most crucial people in your life, helping them to grow their capabilities—and growing your own as well.

Being a hero is always the purpose that most focuses and multiplies our best energies and skills in any situation.

It's like having a constant true north—you’ve established the correct direction right from the beginning, and you’re not worried about the means because the means will be whatever’s necessary to get there.

There's no way to predict exactly what means will be required, but being a hero to other people can always be the focus of your own development of capability. That's the direction you can always be going in.

With so many people you could spend your time helping, deciding who it is you want to be a hero to can take away all complexity from the situation by eliminating the alternatives and setting you up to move ahead with a clear goal and purpose.
