Wherever you go, whatever you do, you take yourself with you. Everything else is dressing.
It is remarkably fulfilling being in the company of the energized - individuals and groups with clear vision - particularly these possessed of and impassioned by a principled sense of mission, of cause, of calling, of creative expression, whose joy is full.
These, Beyond The Hero, are of a unique set of understanding, a different outlook, a different mindset. One might even say they are way around the bend!
Admittedly, many other folks and groups across life's spectrum are ably drawn in a particular direction mobilized by some kind of carrot - perhaps a warranted expectation or glitz or reward or hope or comfort or relief or fleeting pleasure or delusion or ennobling sense of self - or are drvien full force in a particular direction by some sort of stick - a whip, a fear, flight from suffering, an anticipation of doom, the wrath of God - ever timely. Ughh. Guilt. Or being fickled blindly through a whirlwind of brazen chicanery.
Not these!
No, not these. These are not better, per se, just different! To these Beyond The Hero, the privilege of pursuit - the call, the claim, a cause greater than self, its honor - absorbs reward. Put together it is uniquely blended into a kind of life-nourishment, a gladness. Just different! But awesome. Perhaps you know the experience. This is your route.
These took the hero's journey too and arrived here: BEYOND THE HERO. Clear vision. Sparkling sense of purpose. Knows why this new vision, why this hour, why he or she is most suited for this moment. And with that understanding, with that compunction, with that eagerness, and armed with learnings from that most treacherous of journeys - the hero's journey - they are here, ever onward, ready and willing.
But are they abie?
A person can be willing and energized, but that does not mean able. Life is sprinkled with historic reminders. Isn't ability essential?
Let's scan back across to many others who took or are still on the hero's journey, and not yet here BEYOND THE HERO, even having had as much or much more labor by class of their travels. What is happening there?
Lots! Too much to cover in one haul.
Let's zoom in on two halting conditions of the weary:
- the desert syndrome - endlessly circling a wilderness unaware one is on a hero's journey, blaming, complaining, losing one's wits through every dust storm; clung to the masses; desperately hoping for a hero
- a bin-there-done-that trance - unaware there's was a hero's journey, unaware of what they own and have, unaware of the value, unaware of its transferability, collapsed under the weight of never again!
Welcome to episode two of BEYOND THE HERO - a compelling cause - curated by Neville DeAngelou. Here, amongst a field that knows they are always on the edge of somewhere, let us INDIVIDUALLY glean from the range of samples provided throughout this episode valued approaches to not having ability, to not knowing how, to not being aware of what's next! No test.
Enjoy actionable discoveries continuously shared - smartly - particularly those that uplift, inspire, promote harmony, expand opportunities, exemplify beauty, and reveal wonder, in other words, those proven to strengthen our emboldened exercise of genuine love through all of love's fertile dimensions, supplying those of us who are blessed and inspired to take action with necessary skillsets to be awesome in our real world.
