Send the following Big Idea to a friend:
Hero's Forest
"You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or a path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential." ~ Joseph Campbell from A Joseph Campbell Companion
That pretty much sums it up.
Are you following someone else's path? If so, you simply aren't going to realize your potential.
Yes, we know that society does anything but encourage us to discover who we are and how to go out and give ourselves to the world. But that's why they call it the "hero's" journey. If it wasn't a challenge it'd be something like "the average person's" journey. Not quite as inspiring, eh?!? :)
Find your own way.
Engage in your hero's journey!
"What will they think of me? -- Must be put aside for bliss." ~ Joseph Campbell
