This week I listened to a webinar titled " A Hero's Journey." The premise of this video is that we have a mission on earth to fulfill. That mission can be fulfilled if we have enough faith and courage to find our " entrepreneurial calling." The speaker emphasized that when we choose to have a hero's journey, we are choosing to"live every minute as though you have a mission." What a powerful message! Live each minute as though I have a mission. This encompasses all of one's activities, thoughts, ideas, and actions. If we live as though we are on our mission right now think of how different our lives would be. Each day I would wake up with a purpose, with a plan, with a road-map of where I will go and what I will do that day to get me closer to fulfilling the mission I was sent here to fulfill. Wow. It is a mind-stretching concept, but it is empowering.
One thing that this hero may not like about the journey though, is that what really maters is how I have changed in the process. Most of us are a little afraid of change, afraid of the unknown. I am. Part of me wants to be a better person, someone who will change the world and make a difference. the other part of me is frightened and scared because of past failures, and negativity from others who have led me to believe I am worthless and a nobody. The little girl inside me is afraid to take a step for fear of being reprimanded for falling. However, that little light inside is trying to remind me that I have gifts and talents, that I am of worth, and that I can find a calling to match those gifts. I need only rely on my God. He wants me to have joy. Finding that special gift and calling I was given,and then using it, will bring me the joy I crave and desire. Will I take the step of faith necessary to follow that call? Will I embark on this hero's journey? This is my challenge.
