CHAPTER 21 Finding Fireman

As is the way with many quests in stories, fables and folklore, the journey along that winding road often involves encounters with gatekeepers, people who hold the keys that enable you to continue towards your destiny. Without these people, the road becomes a never-ending circle, like a roundabout without exits. The challenge for protagonists along this journey is that, although they meet a lot of people, they don’t know which ones hold the keys. They don’t know what they look like, or where they’re based. It’s often fate – or good fortune – that enables the encounter.

Even then they don’t know if they’re false guides, ready to lead them along the wrong path even if they have the best intentions in mind. There are endless obstacles that could derail the protagonist, so it’s a minor miracle when everything comes together and the next door is opened.

There’s only one way to find the right key holder, and that’s to put yourself in as many situations as you can, where you get to meet as many people as possible. Networking can be a numbers game. Sometimes you’re lucky and meet the right person at the right time within minutes. Sometimes it can take years. But you have to fully believe that the gatekeeper is out there somewhere, and it’s your job to find him or her.
