Magic And Big Projects

I was wondering about the lore of magic and what it had to say about accomplishing big projects. I know that some stories have castles appearing overnight and marvelous feats are accomplished by
the hero of the story. These are the lessons I derived from the stories. (1) No matter how anything comes into being it must be well formed to be more than an illusion. Shabby work is not to be tolerated. So if you are building a castle you must make sure that all the stones are well carved and in their proper place. (2) Big quests are important and are not to be feared. So don't hold back from taking on important endeavors. (3) Help will appear to meet those big quests. So go forward with courage and look for help when you need it. (4) Start out as you mean to go on. Don't start out to build a hut just because it is easy and you really want a castle, or a college degree or a good job. (5) Big projects are meant to fill a certain purpose. In some stories big projects may impress others but if they don't fulfill a real purpose they don't last. (6) Big projects are to help the hero and usually accomplished by him or her. (7) The purpose of big projects are a better life for the hero or people important to the hero. (8) There are obstacles in the way of big accomplishments but they can and will be overcome.
I think the fairies tales have a lot of important lessons for us. So I suggest you hook into a mind set of learning from the lore of magic. Take on a big project without too much fear. May the spark be with you.
