“I can do this.” It all comes down to those four words. Because if you want to save a life, step one is believing you can.
I started believing in heroes because of a story I heard once.
On Jan. 2, 2007, a construction worker named Wesley waited for a train with his two young daughters at a subway station in New York City.
Wesley noticed a large young man slump, seize, collapse, and fall onto the train tracks. Wesley saw the lights of the oncoming train, told his daughters to stay with a nearby woman, jumped down, realized the man was too heavy to pull from the tracks, heard his daughters screaming, the train’s noise, and then said silently to himself, “I can do this.”
Heroes don’t always have time to think about big philosophical ideas. Some’re simply presented with a person that needs help.
But heroes do need the confidence — the will — to be useful to another person in need. Faith such that they’ll say: “I can do this.”
Like Wesley. He did pull that man to safety.
Wesley’s story reminds us that heroes aren’t all that complex. Don’t aim to change the entire world, aim to change someone’s entire world. One person. Just one.
