"You are the hero of your own story." - Joseph Campbell
Every epic tale has a hero.
Every hero has a burning desire.
An insatiable thirst and drive.
A unimaginably powerful feeling deep within their soul.
A deep yearning.
A calling.
Life, itself, is an adventure.
The story of our main character, born into a world in which they don't completely fit in.
Forced to conform to the world around them through multiple pressures, external and internal.
Someone who has always had a flame lit inside them.
A yearning for something more.
A purpose which doesn't necessarily align to what people around have suggested.
You are the hero of your own adventure.
Each and every one of us have a inner flame burning inside of us.
You may already be living out your hero's journey.
You may not be.
Only you will know.
It doesn't need to change the world.
It just needs to change yours.
Whatever it is, it is our duty to honour our inner calling.
In my latest blog post, "A Virtual Reality", I provide an outside-of-the-box perspective on the value of time, with the hope of inciting some deeper self-reflection on the subject. Please read on for full post.
Strive to live, live to strive.
