This week we are focusing on the Hero’s Journey and MarkJ had a video of Aimee Mullins, what an awesome video.
She took her disability and turned it around to an amazing ability to serve mankind.
The movies that we watched the past weeks had some amazing Hero Journeys in, Rudy & The good lie, just to name two. The more we become the observer the more we see the small things in life but actually they are the big things. I was listening to The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale and he said:
“Our mind comes as standard equipment at birth, its free and things that are given to us for nothing we place little value on. Things that we pay money for we value, the paradox is that the exactly the reverse is true, everything that is really worth while in life came to us free, our mind our soul our body our hopes our dreams our ambitions our intelligence our love for family and children and friends. All these priceless possessions are free, but the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time. A good man can be completely wiped out and make another fortune, he can do that several times, even if our home burns down we can rebuild it, but the things we got for nothing we can never replace. The human mind isn’t used merely because we take it for granted, familiarity breeds contempt, it can do any kind of job we assign to it but generally speaking we use it for little jobs instead for big important ones.”
Here is the the link to The Strangest
We are all on our own Hero’s Journey, so enjoy it and enjoy Life.
