In this life you have to be your own hero.
By that I mean you have to win whatever it is that matters to you by your own strength and in your own way.
Like it or not, you are alone in a forest, just like all those fairy tales that begin with a hero who's usually stupid but somehow brave, or who might be clever, but weak as a straw, and away he goes {don't worry about the gender}, cheered on by nobody, via the castles and the bears, and the old witch and the enchanted stream, and by and by {we hope} he'll find the treasure.
