This question can be a useful tool to measure your intentions or to assist you while making a decision. We know intentions count when seeking a solution or serving a client.

Just stopping long enough to ponder this silly comparison may add perspective to your choices.

Here are a limited list of conditions for comparison:
Heroes—

• Heroes are selfless. They DO something for nothing. 
• Heroes put others first. 
• Heroes give others credit.
• Heroes can act and respond quickly.
• Heroes are self-directed.
• Heroes come in all shapes and sizes
• Independent thinker.

Goats—

• Goats are always looking for a handout for something to “eat.”
• Goats are friendly and need to be herded.
• Goats can give milk, one flavor, and you do the work!
• Goats are sure-footed and climb rough terrain when guided.
• Herd mentality.

Ultimately, I ask myself, “Do I want to be a hero or a goat?” What am I willing to do, to step up for my friends, family, or clients? Sometimes, we have to break our own “log jam.”
