The hero's journey

Last week I talked about self-reflection. Self-reflection begins your journey which is the hero's journey. There are dragons to fight and obstacles to cross, and none of them are outside of you.

What do you fear? Sit down with it and face it. Feel it. Observe yourself thinking it and feeling it. It's not who you are. Disease, financial loss, job loss, relationship pain -- all of these can bring out fear in us. This is not the time to blame someone else. This is not the time to blame yourself.

It is the time to face it. As you feel it and observe it, it will begin to lose its power over you. Call forth your spiritual resources and face it together.

Once you come to a place of calm ask yourself: "What do I want to come of this?"  Your fears are the  dragons you must slay and  they stand between you and your treasure. Your treasure is becoming the complete being you were meant to become.
