Is it the hero that “makes” a good story… or is it someone else?
I’m reading Donald Miller’s latest book, Scary Close: Dropping the Act and Finding True Intimacy. As he wrestles with his own life story (and the one he tells the world), he remembers that while the hero is important to any good story, it’s the guide that makes the hero come alive.
Think Yoda. Think Mr. Miyagi.
To a certain extent we are all heroes of own lives, our own stories. But the real question is: Who is your guide?
