This week was pretty good. We watched the video, “A Hero’s
Journey” which was quite interesting. I know there are lots of takeaways from
the video. The main ones presented were:
- Was I a good person?
- Have I contributed something meaningful?
- Who have I loved and who loved me?
Contained was the thought that after living a long life,
that these would be the burning questions that were actually important at the
end of it all.
Another item that was touched on is a list of “I will nots”.
Write yourself a letter for each of these moral boundaries, or temptations,
call them what you will, and take it out and read it when you are approaching the thought of doing one
of these I will nots. I think that’s very interesting and it also brings the
topic of pre-decision decision making.
The last and most interesting thing I found in the video was
the thought that, the hero does it first, the fool does it last, but they both
do the same thing.
This, above all the others, really made me think. Am I
taking initiative to help someone in need now, maybe when it’s inconvenient vs.
later when I feel bad about it after living my life not having done so. Am I
the hero or the fool? Did I take the risk, did I make the move, and did I make
the leap? Now when I have so much to lose or did I wait until I felt secure,
beyond the point when it would actually make a difference?
It’s going on my wall.
