The Hero's Journey

I found Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth to be enlightening, I guess I had never given thought to how people arrive at becoming a hero before. I thought hero's were born that way. But now I see that sometimes it's unknown till that person is on a spiritual journey and faces certain circumstances that lead him to ultimately becoming a hero, sacrificing himself for the good of someone else, or having the courage to venture out of his norm for unknown territory to learn and have new experiences. He probably never thought he had that in him until he was faced with it. It wasn't till he brought up Star Wars that I seen the connection with playing online games like WOW. How we set out on a quest to help whom ever it is willing to offer us the promises of rewards and along the way find ourselves helping out anyone in need and feeling good that we are helping our "realm" in doing so.
