After a few adventures Bilbo took, he was able to realize that he needed to rely on his own abilities and do what he felt it was right. Eventually he was able to get out of his comfort zone and learned that he was capable of doing more then he could ever think of. When Bilbo builds confidence in himself he emerges as a true hero.
