At the heart of the hero's journey lies a profound truth: our societies, like ancient kingdoms, can become wastelands devoid of life and hope. Each of us, in our own way, must embark on a quest for deeper meaning and purpose. This journey transforms us, revealing a new perspective that revitalizes our communities. In today's egalitarian landscape, we are all called to be heroes. It's about discovering our true selves and sharing that richness with others. We find our "soul" not in our outward circumstances but in the depths of our being. True heroism is not about personal glory; it's about overflowing with life to enrich the world around us.
May we each embark on our heroic journey,
discovering our true selves to enrich our communities
with abundant life and purpose.
