Once upon a time, an ancient form of storytelling called the « Hero’s Journey » was born. Since then, it has been used many times as a model for fiction writing.

Such tales tell goes as follows; a hero receives a call to adventure / which prompts them to go on a journey paved with obstacles before coming back to their world, enriched and matured.

Notorious example, Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. She starts her journey in a place of boredom, wishing to find a place where she’ll be out of trouble. During a quest, her goal is to go back home and will successfully do so after overcoming challenges.

I feel that this storytelling structure would work in real life, because I do see some parallels.

Facing scary challenges to grow and find confidence ?

So, how do heroes overcome obstacles ?
