Donald Miller Quotes

One Day I Realized Something Obvious: In All These Movies, There Was A Similar Plot. The Hero Is Always Weak At The Beginning And Strong At The End, Or A Jerk At The Beginning And Kind At The End, Or Cowardly At The Beginning And Brave At The End. In Other Words, Heroes Are Almost Always Screwups. But It Hardly Mattered. All The Hero Has To Do To Make The Story Great Is Struggle With Doubt, Face Their Demons, And Muster Enough Strength To Destroy The Death Star. That Said, I Noticed Another Thing. The Strongest Character In A Story Isn't The Hero, It's The Guide. Yoda. Haymitch. It's The Guide Who Gets The Hero Back On Track. The Guide Gives The Hero A Plan And Enough Confidence To Enter The Fight. The Guide Has Walked The Path Of The Hero And Has The Advice And Wisdom To Get The Hero Through Their Troubles So They Can Beat The Resistance. The More I Studied Story, The More I Realized I Needed A Guide.
