How to be the hero of your own life
Are we born with a special purpose?
What does it mean to be a hero? Does the world need to be saved? If so, who will get the job? I know I feel that I was born with a special purpose, and most people I talk to feel the same way. This series is an exploration of whether life is a game of king of the mountain, or if we are all gifted in our own way. It illuminates a path we all travel, and helps guide your journey through life.

If you are like me, you see yourself as a hero, or at least the starring character of your own story. Your life has a grand purpose, yet the path is strewn with obstacles. If only you could reach your goals, everything would be okay. We see this scenario play out in most stories. The hero sets forth on an impossible quest. They must overcome all odds to win the prize and save the day. The hero's prize, whether that be a million dollars or the Holy Grail, is merely a symbol with a much greater meaning.
