Ang Peregrino Recommends 13: The My Hero Project

The MyHero Project
URL: http://​www​.myhero​.com

The MyHero Project is a web­site that inspires peo­ple with an ever-growing inter­net archive of hero sto­ries from around the world. The web­site show­cases count­less sto­ries of heroism.

The sto­ries range from those of strangers who show acts of kind­ness, to explor­ers who help dis­cover, to poets whose words inspire us, to a sec­tion called: my hero’s hero– those who inspire the heroes themselves.

There are famil­iar names: Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, Amelia Ear­heart, Jackie Chan, Michael Jor­dan. But there are a lot more unfa­mil­iar names, like musi­cian Vedran Smailovic, and Willie O’Ree, the first black player of the National Hockey League. Their sto­ries inspire nonethe­less, despite their anonymity–or maybe because of it. For it is the unknown heroes who make hero­ism acces­si­ble to all of us.

If they could do it, then we could.

If you’re feel­ing down and feel­ing really bad about human­ity, or if you’re in need of a boost, or if you just want to be inspired to do good in your own way, then this is the web­site for you.

Ang Pere­grino Rec­om­mends The My Hero Project Web­site this week.
