Story Structure and the Life Arcs

Students of story have long been able to apply structure to their own lives and use it as a surprising metric for recognizing archetypa moments and cycles. Once you understand the terms, it's hard not to see inciting events, first plot points, moments of truth and third plot points, popping up all over the place. Together, all six life arcs create a progression that can be found in any human life, provided we complete our early arcs in order to reach the later arcs with a proper foundation.
