You are an easy going person. You are also a person of action when the situation calls for it. The definition of a hero is a sandwich made from a long roll or loaf of bread with a filling of meat and cheese with lettuce and tomato.
But most people consider a hero someone who rises to the challenge set before them. A hero is an ordinary person that can face extraordinary circumstances and succeed. Someone that faces an emergency and comes through shining.
What happens when every situation is turned into an emergency? What if every task that you are faced with is elevated to ?
You end up diminishing the importance of each real emergency. You devalue your level of being able to rise to the occasion. After all, if you have already risen to one occasion, and another follows right behind, you are already up there. No need to come back down to rise up again.
If every task that you deal with is an emergency or high priority, then the real priorities are lost in the mix. People will bring you low priority items, and be forced to elevate them, just so they have a chance.
You will eventually burn out. You will exhaust those around you. You will lose focus and selectiveness.
You are a hero, but even Superman needs sleep.
