“For me, The Power of Myth reinforced my view that life is a series of journeys, circles within circles on which you travel through time and space within yourself.
Each journey begins with a dream that grows into a passion to do something important in life. That passion motivates you to learn, to prepare yourself to fulfill your dream.
Finally, you begin the journey itself, which is in my case commonly becomes an expedition to find something lost or unknown.
During this journey I know I will be tested by the storm we must all experience. Some storms will test your mental preparation, but the most challenging will test the strength of your passion and your willingness to endure those storms to reach your goal. And I have learned that all storms will pass: the skies clear and your quest is achieved.
But your journey is never over until you return from it to share with society what you have learned.
Then and only then can you begin your next journey in life as the process repeats itself, as you constantly become.”
"Life is the act of becoming, that you never arrive. We climb our mountains not for the view we have once we reach the summit, but because we love the process of climbing, of becoming". ~ J Campbell, "The Power of Myth"
Throughout our life, through the stages, we must allow ourself the pause to reflect before we can move forward, onward.
