How to respond when you hear your calling
Sep 16, 2020
There must be more to life than this. That's what I thought over 15 years ago when I was looking down from the balcony of my corner office at the World Bank.
And then my hero's journey began: I received a call to go on an adventure and left. No other job offer. No particular plan. But a boss who was very supportive.
Little did I know at the time that the hero's journey includes a time where s/he must survive a succession of trials.
I had a few. Separation, divorce, mounting debt, death of parents, major shoulder injury and surgery, a global financial recession, a few crazy girlfriends, a few more heartbreaks.
And sometimes I feel that the ultimate boon, the achievement of the goal of the quest, is still not within reach. I am still waiting for that freedom from the fear of death, which in turn is the freedom to live. Living in the moment, neither anticipating the future nor regretting the past.
So, is the Hero's Journey worth it?
If you hear that call to stop living like a mouse and follow your call to unleash the greatness within you, my interview with Podcaster Jules de Jesus Fritz is for you.
