A hero ain't nuthin' but a sandwich

I wonder what makes someone think that in any way they are better then someone else. Is it that they have more money, a better education? Does it stem from being a 'tough guy' that makes them believe nobody can fuck with them? Is it insecurity forcing them to push forward a bullshit wall of bravado?

What I have learned over time is that the best thing you can do for yourself is to have the courage to stand up for yourself, knowing you will probably fail, and not letting that interfere.I used to think if I walked away from adversity it would fall back into the abyss. Much of the time that does happen, with a consequence..... you have to live with the decision. Knowing in your eyes you have committed an act of cowardice, is a lot harder to live with then if you stood your ground and lost.

I think simply what I am trying to express here is, be your own hero. Be the person you would look up to by simply doing your best, and standing for what you believe in and who you are. Do not act to impress anyone other then yourself. If you do, more often then not, you will be disappointed. Do not let someone ever get the upper hand. Stay calm, keep your emotions in check, and trust your judgement, you know yourself better then anyone else.
