What if the amount of “Heaven” you could enjoy in your “after life” could be no greater than the amount of “Heaven” you helped to facilitate for others here on Earth?
Would that change your behaviors and actions?

Today I made the realization that many of my old heroes are no longer the heroes I admire most.
When I was younger, I admired intelligence, strength, skill, beauty, and talents. While I still admire those things, the older I have become the more I have chosen heroes not by the positive characteristics listed above, but rather my heroes now are the people who I perceive have done the most good for others.
You can have advantages, education, gifts, intelligence, beauty and force of will. But if you don’t attempt to find ways to effectively use them for the greatest good for yourself and others, you have missed an important role and goal for a modern person.
My modern heroes often figure out ways to transform their limited gifts, knowledge, and abilities to do the most good for the most people.
