Taking advantage of The Hero’s Journey first takes understanding. See this journey in your everyday life. Notice what happens to you when you don’t have this journey. Notice in others the feeling of listlessness that can come from denying adversities in their lives. When we are younger, we make believe these journeys. We conjure them to express our built-in desires to be more than the sum of our parts. As we grow, these journeys have more roots in the world. Our action become apparent in the world. Adversity is around every corner.

As our lives unfold, we become methodical in our everyday. There is no more adventure to be had, it would seem. Even though we are experiencing life through The Hero’s Journey, we lack the self-imposed journeys. The challenges that come from a voluntary adversity. Here we focus on creating something worth striving for and dedicating ourselves to the task.
