The Hero's Journey
A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.- Christopher Reeve
Doesn’t everyone envision themselves as a hero – sometimes with a cape or sometimes without? Think about it, Superman, Spiderman or if you want to go real, then maybe Steve Jobs or Amitabh Bachchan? But do you realize that it is a very challenging journey. A hero is an ordinary person (like you and me) who has gathered the instincts to overcome the biggest fiasco of their life. In doing so, the hero explores innermost knots of the conscience, fights them and emerges victorious as a confident individual.
And mind you, it is not an individual journey. Only when you accept to yourself and your friends that you have demons to conquer, do you set your first step to becoming a hero.
Then starts the eternal battle between choosing what is right and what is easy. And when you have chosen the right path, you will find your mentor, your salvation and your goal – the elixir to success. It is when you give up your temptation to use the elixir for yourself that you earn the right to win it. The journey to heroism never ends, it is a cycle which keeps challenging our conscience and our soul.
But, the question arises, what lies beyond this struggle and painful journey? For a hero, the reward could represent three things:
•Change :in the hero’s personality and perspective,
•Success :could be much different from what the hero started out in mind, yet more fulfilling and
•Proof of journey : the physical and the literal scars of the journey & the wisdom acquired.
This reward that comes with the return to home also signifies the need for the resolution for the key players of the hero’s story. The doubters will be ostracized, enemies punished, and allies rewarded.
Ultimately, now even when the hero is home, nothing will ever be the same again.
Have you found your calling yet? If not, would you like to find it?
