Rob is exploring ‘The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell, sharing his thoughts and reflections on a phenomenal book that has the power to change lives.
If you, like Rob, enjoy reading and finding out what eminent people think and how your own life can be made more profitable through learning from the great people who've gone before then this episode provides a personal and insightful view on the hero's journey that we are all personally involved in, because you are the hero in your own life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are numerous stages in any life and The Hero's Journey represents all of us on our life journey from when we are born until when we die.
- At a macro level it is one journey but within the overall journey are hundreds and thousands of hero's journeys.
We are all called to adventure
- All are called but not all of us hear and not all of us answer.
- It's the desires within us, that stir us.
- Dreams and imaginings, powerful and amazing to us personally, but then we ask ourselves what would others ‘the committee of they' think about this? The error is not having the thought but allowing it to develop and continue.
- Embrace the call to adventure and champion it, because it's unique to you, only you have that thing inside you that inspires you to do or become, or have or get to, or be that particular thing.
The refusal
- The thought process says you can't do that, what will they think, you can't compete and you'll never make it happen.
- Many of us continue to repeat this thought process knowing that we have been there before.
- Do you recognise reoccurring patterns in your life journey, your leadership?
- It's an indicator that you haven't moved on or let go of something you need to
let go of.
- If you identify it, it begins to lose its power and moves you towards the process of change, towards something different.
- Every decision we take will take us onwards on the hero's journey, closer to the next step or it will keep us where we are, held in the place of no-decision.
- A decision not taken because of fear results in a life of quiet desperation.
- Fear is a part of the process and if there is no decision, there are no crossroads and nowhere to go.
- When we decide it's our decision and it's all about us we are able to focus on what's in front of us. This is when we are on the journey, bridge building for those who come after.
- If you take a step and cross the threshold on your hero's journey you will face fears and challenges these are a test and you must stick at it to come through and survive.
- We are all on a hero's journey and as leaders, managers and coaches it's about helping others to take the next step on their journey
