I asked my friends recently, “If you could be any fictional character, who would you be? And why?”
We went back and forth, talking about who was the most badass or had the best powers, thinking about all of our favorite characters.
The more we got into it, the more we realized…
Every main character went through some major s**t. They all had some traumatic experience or problem to work through. Some big challenge overcome. We honestly struggled to find a character we wanted to be that also had a comfortable life, something we all want.
When it comes down to it, the main character wouldn’t be who they are without the challenges they faced - the challenges they didn’t back down or run away from.
The challenge is what changed them, what forged them into the warrior, leader, or dragon rider they became.
To be the main character of your own story, you have to embrace your own challenges, work through them and find a way to move forward, no matter how uncomfortable it is. If you don’t, you’ll never find out who you could have become.
just something I’m thinking about
