Book Excerpt:
“Interestingly, the original meaning of the word hero comes from the Greek root servos and heros, which means ‘to serve and protect’ (incidentally the motto of the Toronto Police). Self-sacrifice for the higher good and betterment of humanity is at the heart of being a Hero or Leader.
I want to forcefully point out here that the root definition of hero centering on self-sacrifice and service to others is incredibly important in our development. It implies that the seeds of greatness lie within us all, and that we can all endeavor to become the heroes we were truly meant to be. Martin Luther King Jr. really brought home this point when he declared, ‘Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t even have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.’” (Psychology of the Hero Soul, Chapter 3 – Sacrifice)
