Change is an epic challenge for anyone. Breaking free of our comfort zone is often so difficult that it takes life’s most powerful external forces to spark it—the end of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, natural and unnatural disasters.

So when we’re caught in a rut with nothing to push us, what do we turn to for inspiration?

Stories.

For thousands of years, humans have consumed them voraciously. And the stories that have survived the test of time center on protagonists doing more than the seemingly impossible; they transform.

Cowards become warriors. Tyrants become peacemakers. Skeptics become believers.

We look to these leading characters because if someone can evolve—even imaginary beings in fantastical worlds—maybe, just maybe, we can too.

The protagonists in our favorite stories illuminate the path to change and reveal how to build resilience along the way.

By dissecting the pivotal moments of your favorite tales, you can learn what it takes to spark change within you, fortify the strength of your own character, and begin inspiring the world with your own epic tale as the hero you know you’re meant to be.
