I’m sometimes asked, “Why are things so much more meaningful in stories that in real life?” A good question, and one authors deal with all the time. What makes a good story?
Here’s something that is key: Good stories happen when you have an interesting character who wants something passionately–but can’t get it. The story tells us how that character struggles through and works their way to achieve the thing they want. They encounter obstacles, suffer reversals…and often have to learn some big lesson along the way. But they don’t give up until they reach their goal.
In real life, too few of us have figured out that thing or things that we most want, or we lack the passion to really go after it. Do you want your life to be as exciting as those stories you love? Figure out what you are most passionate about. Then make a plan, and get busy. Adopt the creative, proactive mindset, and make it happen. You’ll find your life suddently taking on purpose and meaning. Go ahead…don’t be aftraid. You were born to be a hero!
