If you accept life's call to adventure, you begin a Hero's Journey.
This journey is not about the destination. It's about what you learn along the way and how it builds your character. The story of the Hero's Journey focuses on effort and handling difficulty instead of emphasizing winning or achieving a specific rank. Merely accepting the call to adventure and taking on a challenge is a big step in and of itself. So big, in fact, that many people never answer that call.
Taking on the challenge isn't a guarantee you'll always end up in the number one position, but it guarantees you will grow. If you get up each time you fall, help others along the way, try your best and learn the lessons of the journey, then you are a hero.
Using stories of the Hero's Journey and being a hero is one of the ways we foster a growth mindset in our learners. Being heroes builds the deep self-confidence that comes from choosing what is challenging, not what is easy, and knowing you have the fortitude to accomplish hard things.
