We know that the ego-driven, self-centred satisfaction from finite achievements or material goods cannot sustain a healthy mind. It is like trying to keep a fire going by burning twigs and leaves, they fizzle out. All we truly have is this journey of becoming and the feeling of progress… which is strongly supported both biologically and psychologically. The greatest source of fuel for this continued journey is aiming to enhance the world and the lives of those around us. This allows us to turn down the self-centred, stress-inducing voice in our head. It also replaces twigs and leaves for a log of hard wood; a sustainable energy source for the challenges, set-backs and dream chasing that invigorate who you are and how you live your life. It is likely not an accident that the narrative of the hero transcends all cultures and served as a guide during the toughest times in human history. The framework of the hero is of someone that rises to the occasion out of love for others. In doing so you turn down the noisy conscious mind and allow the powerful subconscious to lead, which feels like the willingness and preparedness to seek adventure. And thus, you adopt the traits and character that allow you to be the answer to your challenges, the person you want to be and the hero of your story.
