How heroes are made?

Think about fictional writing. Think about how heroes are made.

You don't give the protagonist 10 arms and the dragon one head. That'll be too easy. No, no. You give the protagonist just two regular sized arms, a strong will power, a worthy purpose and the dragon 10 heads! Then you let the magic begin.

You don't give the protagonist legs of steel and make the mountain as big as a mole to climb, you give the protagonist human legs and make the mountain rocky, twisty and tall. With strength, perseverance, and an undying spirit, the hero makes it to the top!

These were just simple words we learned as kids - will-power, strength, perseverance, courage, purpose. We never realized the importance of these as real life qualities. Rest of the life, we thought, would be about being good at something or enjoying something and the doors would keep magically opening up. But these are not words, these are the stuff heroes are made off. Keep fighting. Just one more round. Until the referee raises his hand and declares once and for all that the fight is over and the winner is declared, keep fighting. Just one more round.

Keep your eye on the ball or the goal. Don't focus on the challenges, the challenges are just there to make a hero out of you. The purpose is the real fight, rest is just folk-lore.
