Aphorism Reflection

"You can't put a limit to anything. The more you dream, the farther you'll get." is the aphorism I picked by Michael Phelps. I believe this quote reflects in Joseph Campbell's idea of the hero's journey in many ways. Joseph says that the ones a hero when your life starts, for it is a great fight when the baby is born, and when that happens the baby has outdone himself. When you think of a hero, you think of  a person that never gives up, always saves the day, and succeeds every time. This quote gives the idea of never giving up, and always fighting, so no matter how many obstacles you need to pass for success, you should never give up. The hero needs to be ready for that new success he/she is visualizing in his/her life. Saying this, the first part of the quote, where Michael says you can't put a limit to anything, I believe it means that the hero needs a very big idea of what he can achieve. Looking beyond what he believes he/she cannot do.

The quote can inspire people to do everything. Because if people don't look forward to their dreams or goals in life, they will never actually succeed. People need to fight for what they want, and thats is why "the more you dream, the farther you'll get" because if you dream of success you will eventually achieve it.
