The Hero's Journey

Today while watching Hercules, I was reminded of the hero's journey. The quests we all undertake through life are such journeys. Everyday when you open your eyes there is a journey to start or finish. How do we know which ones are the ones to serve us? Why, all of them of course. The greatest journey of all is, to find your true self. This area has been written about by thousands of people and today it is no different.
There can be many opportunities found on this journey and the rewards are priceless. Is this a simple task? Good question. It can be as simple or as difficult as you want it to be. To dig in and look beyond the illusions was the place to start for me. Just like in the story of Hercules, there can be monsters, demonds, villians, and fear. What can be the most fearful is just to look. As you move down into you and face all these things, the fear dissapates and you can move forward. The key is to do it even if you are afraid to.
What you will find as you go through this is, you are a hero!
