Every Hero Story Has This…
In every Hero Story there is always a guide. There is always a mentor who helps the hero come into themselves and do what they could not do themselves. Our hero is already extraordinary, but they often don't see their own powers...
More often than not, it's not even clear that our hero is a true hero until the mentor sets them on their journey of rebirth and growth.
Heroes become heroes because:
1- they posses unique characteristics that make them amazing
2- they are supported by mentors who see their amazingness and develop it
