The Hero of Time

If you know who the hero of time is, this post is for you. If you don't know who the hero of time is, find an old school Nintendo 64 and play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The hero of time is somebody who does great things that transcend time itself. To be great today is not enough for the hero of time. There is an ideal to be great today, tomorrow, and even return to the past and be great back then. I am the hero of time. This is not a metaphor, it is a fact. Everyday I make it my goal to be a better person than I was yesterday, in all aspects of life. I am in the pursuit of greatness, and intend to find greatness in who I was yesterday, who I am today, and who I want to be tomorrow.

The hero of time goes through dungeons and temples, finds the tools needed to be great, and emerges stronger and wiser than when he entered. This is not at all different from diving into a lonely pool, stepping on a treadmill, or hooking your bike up to a stationary trainer. You test yourself physically and mentally, and finish with newfound strength and fitness, better than you were before. Strength can also be found from drinking red potion, which looks an awful lot like beet juice if you ask me. A bike is similar to a horse, beautiful and fast, and skillfully handled. And let's be real, the hero of time never gets laid, no matter how much he does for the princess. Sounds alot like a long training season to me...

The hero of time does not concern himself with his present troubles. There is too much riding on his success to be hung up on that. Instead he pushes forward, grows stronger, and fights harder than anybody has ever fought until the job is done. I am the hero of time.
