A Hero's Journey

 “The hero’s journey is all about you, but it’s not about you at all.” This quote summarizes very well what a clear life perspective should look like. We get to choose what we do in our lives. What do I focus my energy on? What goals will I have? It is good to self-reflect but when that’s the only thing you think about, life becomes unbalanced. If I only think about myself and my bubble around me, I tend to get depressed and self-absorbed. When I look outside, see the world and all the people, I see more purpose and fulfillment. How do I want to treat people? Will I take the Hero’s Journey, or will I take another path filled with looking for happiness in all the wrong places?  

“So, what does it mean to choose a hero’s journey? It means to live every moment of your life like it matters, because it does.” Life can get us down and build us up. All these waves are there to help us learn and find meaning. Every life has a mission. What is my life goal? All the adventures have a lesson to learn, no matter how hard they are. As I look at life through a scope with this perspective, it gives me energy to find purpose. We all have so much potential to help others and do something with our lives.  

“Have I contributed something meaningful?” This question is never ending. When you think about how you want to make a difference in the world and what your end goal is, you need to start with small steps. Even after you think you accomplish what you’re focusing on, life is not over yet. Get back on that wagon again and find another purpose. It may seem daunting at times but take small steps and big things can happen.
