Be the Change.

Embrace the Hero Within.

We’ve reached the end of your journey. At this final point in the adventure, you must retain the wisdom gained on the quest, integrate that wisdom into your previous life, and perhaps decide how to share the wisdom with the rest of the world.

Returning with the Ultimate Boon and incorporating that knowledge into your new life moving forward is not an easy task. You went out on a journey away from your normal routine. You faced trials, obstacles, and challenges along that journey. You triumphed and returned to a tribe that did none of those things. This is where you will need to gain perspective. When we know something, believe something, understand something, we tend to take for granted that others will find the same value of that knowledge and then feel bewildered, dazed, and confused when others do not embrace that knowledge as whole-heartedly as we embrace that knowledge. BUT, they are not where we are and we are not where they are. We all have our own journeys to take and our own truths to learn. The truth is the truth BUT we must experience our own truths.

Bilbo returned to a Shire that abandoned him for dead and eventually he grew tired of living among hobbits and left the rest of the journey to Frodo, Amari had to find freedom across the Atlantic Ocean in a strange land, Jesus was persecuted and murdered for returning with his truth, while Anakin and Luke sacrificed their lives to keep truth alive. The journey might end with one Boon BUT the next journey is always around the corner as we struggle to become better humans. We can learn from the journeys of those who came before us and incorporate their truths into our quest to be better. And that is all we can hope that others do as well. Our truth is not something to be forced upon other people. Forcing the knowledge on others is not a way of learning the truth. Folks must voluntarily take the journey and find the truth on their own.

So, live your truth. Be a light of truth in the dark places of life. Use the truth to illuminate the path for yourself and those that will look for the truth. Do not use the truth as a weapon. Use the truth to make life easier, better, more abundant. Through your journey, through your change, through your return, through your example, the world can see an example of heroism. The heroism of change.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
