The Journey of Achievement This is the first journey, the one that
everyone listening to the story is aware of. There’s a visible goal with a finish
line that everyone can see. It’s the reason the hero sets out on the journey in the
first place. The audience is rooting for the hero to accomplish this journey. While
this journey is what drives the story forward, it’s the second journey that actually
matters the most. In fact, in many stories, the hero never actually achieves his
end desire. Or if he does, he gives it up for the real transformational journey that
he’s been on throughout the story.
The Journey of Transformation During the first 10% of the story, we
learn about the character and the beliefs they have that make up their identity. A
particular identity is very important to the hero at the beginning of the story, but
along the way they become someone else, someone better. It’s almost like the
death of their old belief systems, and the resurrection or rebirth of a new person.
This transformation is the real journey that our hero has actually been on.
