Preludes to a heroes journey.

Preludes to a heroes journey.

Why it is important to shape and share your hero’s journey...What follows is some basic groundwork before my video on this subject.

Pain and suffering are your friends. They are dear friends. They are fuel.

So is ambition. Passion. So is your expectation of yourself. The best fuel, however, is taking responsibility for your beliefs and for your life.

The full weight of that responsibility is light as a feather; the weight of taking this responsibility is light as air; there is no weight. There is the opposite: liberation. Removal of a great weight of beliefs that do not serve you. There is freedom. Permission.

The importance of sacrifice:

You must sacrifice to grow optimally. You must sacrifice to forge yourself. You must love yourself, and loving yourself includes loving your potential.

Caring for yourself includes caring for those you care about.

You have a vast emotional network. You have a vast responsibility emotionally and physically to your life. This includes those you meet, and especially those who become close to you.

I don’t care if you are strict or relaxed, firm intense calm, whatever. I do care that you learn to be these thing powerfully.
