The Importance of Heroes


From an early age we begin to appoint people we look up to as our hero. As we get older we begin to see the world in a different way. It is easy to lose ourselves and become caught up in the chaos of our everyday lives. The heroes of our younger years begin to fade.

It may be tempting to think of a hero as something you will grow out of but heroes can be just as important to us as we age. Heroes hold qualities we admire and can become significant to self-development.

A hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities. At Great Steps, heroes and their stories inspire us. Whether the story is about a patient or a famous para athlete we want to hear about it! Two of our heroes are Josh Sundquist & Sarah Reinertsen.

Josh Sundquist is a bestselling author, motivational speaker, Paralympic ski racer and doer of good. From CNN to YouTube Josh’s list of accomplishments goes on and on but above all he has an outstanding personality and lives life to the fullest. Did we mention he has a knack for rapping?

Sarah Reinertsen is an Ironman triathlete, paralympian, author, motivational speaker, mentor, and spokesperson. You may recognize Sarah from the “got chocolate milk?” campaign. On top of her prestigious career Sarah spends much of her time giving back through her roles as a spokesperson and motivational speaker. She is constantly motivating others to realize their potential and encourage others to set goals and face their fears. Learn more about Sarah HERE: http://www.alwaystri.com/
