Well, here I am in week five of my journey. We have started a new book called Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment by George Leonard. I will report more on that in weeks to come. What I really wanted to talk about today was the hero's journey. In a lecture given at BYU-Idaho I learned about what it means to go about your life in the hero's journey. The hero's journey has a purpose, a goal, an end in mind. So many people try to succeed by putting others down and only thinking about themselves. To live a hero's journey, we must not only think of ourselves, but serve others.
He talked about what most successful people over 60 say about what is and has been important to them. Was I a good person? Have I contributed something meaningful? Who did I love, and who loved me?
I really tried to ponder on these question in my life. Are these the things I am focusing on as I go about my life, my business and my family? Are you? These are the questions that I challenge anyone reading this to ponder, who do you want to become?
I hope you can take this journey with me.
