I mentioned earlier that this type of development is kind of part of typical story telling that focuses on a protagonist. This is a part of what they call the "hero's journey". It's a plot structure that just keeps popping up in stories in various cultures. I think this is mainly because it's relatable to a general audience and seems normal for the plot.

While there's plenty of bad ways to handle this, it's kind of hard to avoid this part all together.
