  If you act to change the existing order of things, you are on the Quest of Heroes. 

  This gives you a great and noble purpose, to fundamentally make your world a better place. For in the structure the hero's journey, we see our own struggles to achieve. 

  The story of the hero is ancient, yet still alive today.

  Many of our greatest works of literature and our most popular movies have as their fundamental focus the Quest of the Hero. 

  And in the story of the hero, we see our own story—or what might be your own story. For it is true today as it was in the past, that doing anything great is going to be difficult. 

  Yet, we can earn from those who have gone before, and make our own road easier, the journey quicker, the path less likely to end up in failure.
