"Wear a shirt that fits you."
Such an aphorism can contain different meanings to how a person views his life, and his personality. Towards a person that views things literally word per word, it can bring a whole different meaning than what it "truly" is supposed to be.
Connecting to Joseph Campbell's idea on what it means to be a hero, he shows that depending on what you choose yourself to be, to be reborn as a whole new being;you can accomplish many things. Once you accomplish those things and become well-known, then you are a hero that is truly worth writing about. If you take a shirt which can be related to as a career you want to do, and you choose the wrong shirt thinking that it will fit you; you have just driven your pathway of life in a whole different direction. If you try too hard to find a shirt that will exactly fit you, then you might not find it because it takes a long time. Just like how Joseph Campbell says a hero is someone that does great deeds and is recognized, a person has to find the one shirt that will fulfill his life goal; and lead that towards something great.
To sum it all up, Joseph Campbell is trying to say that if you want to be recognized you have to do something great. In order to be recognized for doing something great, you have to find the shirt that fits you. Once you find the shirt that fits you, and become recognized as someone great. You will be written about and truly shown as a hero.
