In my opinion, these meetings are not that different from our online personas. Oftentimes, we can choose not to show content from people we disagree with, even without unfollowing or unfriending them, ensuring we do not have to acknowledge the disagreement, and thereby disrupt the herd.
But what does it say about us when we choose not to engage on those issues that we care about, because we do not want to cause a scene or make the meeting last any longer.
Finding you: How to slay your dragon
We look at these fictional and factual figures, and we may feel frustrated, and wonder: Why can't I do that?
If we allow those feelings to fester, and we make choice after choice after choice to accept what we can get rather than what we really want, the easier it is to distance ourselves from those figures who have followed their bliss, and more so distance ourselves from the opportunity to follow our own bliss.
So, have you ever had a moment where it seemed as if the most relevant experiences of your life had prepared you for that very moment?
I have.
You were here, now you are lost, & why that's good
I'm lost. For four years, I have been blogging and speaking about the Heroic Arts and the Hero's Journey. I absolutely believe that there is a hero inside each and every one of us, and I believe in the power of the message.
One of the pieces of advice I have held close to my heart is to find what you enjoy, and to find ways to do that as often as possible.
The question is: How?
