Ralph Zuranski: My definition of Heroism is somebody that serves and protects, somebody that sacrifices their life in a way that enriches the people in their own family as individuals, or groups of individuals. You look at some of the great spiritual leaders like Gandhi or Mother Teresa, or John Paul, the pope who just recently died.

Those people gave up their own personal sacrifice of wealth, material possessions and fame to serve others. I firmly believe just as you do, that it’s those people who serve and protect those in their community, that make a great sacrifice to make a difference, a positive difference in the lives of other people. They are continually working to make the world and other people’s lives better, the best that they possibly can by actually giving action on their part and showing that it’s not “do as I say” but “do as I do.”

John Assaraf: I think heroism is when somebody really goes above and beyond the call of duty and does something outstanding for either themselves or somebody else. Somebody that really just gets out of their own ways and is just infallible in their pursuit to make someone else’s life a masterpiece. Somebody who really gives up themselves to others. Not just firefighters but anybody who really steps up and makes a difference in humanity is a hero for me.

Heroism is an obedience to a secret impulse of an individual's character.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

T-Harv Eker: I like to look at definitions in the dictionary because I think they are very prevalent but having asked to give a definition of a hero in my own words I would say a hero is a person who is living their purpose or living out their mission.

Ruben Gonzalez: I believe a hero is just someone who is called to a journey or called to mission, has that calling and they actually go and be scared to go out there but face those fears and act in spite of those fears. In the process of chasing that dream or whatever it was they were transformed because they had to become a better person and learn what they were all about. They return a transformed person and everybody says they are a hero but actually they just did something that anybody else could have done as well, facing their fears and going out for it.
