"The Fellowship of the Ring" in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" had nine members, four of whom seemed very unlikely. I guess you know the four to be those hobbits from The Shire.
The other five members had a mixture of skills and experience that the hobbits didn't have, namely magic, wilderness skills (tracking, survival etc), martial arts, healing, wide -ranging knowledge of the outside world, of history, statesmanship, languages and so on.
So what did the hobbits possess that caused them to volunteer for the quest and to see it through ? The answer, of course, is CHARACTER. The other five members also possessed this in abundance, including Boromir who redeemed himself at the end. This character is the power that sees you through when you're staring into the abyss. Not relying solely on some outside force to help you (though help can come), but relying on yourself. If you can see it through to the light then you may well find yourself "seated on the throne of existence" to borrow a phrase from Katsuki Sekida. Just like Aragorn found himself seated on the Throne of Gondor.
