HJ … Hero’s Journey … that magnificent adventure to which we are called in order to discover and embrace our authentic selves and manifest all that we can be (and are intended to be) in this life! The Hero’s Journey is as old as time, documented in every myth and story of every culture, in every corner of the planet. That’s about as “Universal” as it gets.

And it most always starts out with a “Reluctant Hero” — the one who says, “Who ME?” … “You want me to do WHAT??” … “You want me to go WHERE??” … “REALLY??” It often takes a patient herald (the one doing the inviting) and many – many – clues and signs to convince our hero to take her journey. And who is my herald?

In truth, it is my soul, my spirit, my current manifestation of the Infinite. It has been talking to me and leading me and prodding me all my life and, until now, I have only bumbled along obediently like the small child, trustingly holding the hand of the leader. Now I’m waking up. Now I’m seeing the clues that have been tossed into my life like Gretel’s bread crumbs.

AND THIS HAS BEEN MY WEEK OF CLUES! Not even subtle ones! Everywhere I turned, I was reading or seeing images of JUST the actions that are required for me to cross the threshold … FINALLY! The trail markers were displayed in completely unrelated locations. No place was “safe”. By the end of the week, my new blueprint self had no choice but to embrace the tasks of my journey.

And so the leap begins. I have coaches and mentors. I have mastermind partners and friends. I have my future self urging me forward to manifest OUR potential. Am I thrilled? Am I anxious? Am I excited? (D: ALL OF THE ABOVE)

There’s a sentence in my DMP that begins, “CONFIDENT and EMPOWERED, I DELIBERATELY …” Sounds like FUTURE me wrote that one – and who am I to let her down?? In the first paragraph of the intro to Part Nine – The Master Key, it says (and I had it highlighted) “If you wish to change conditions you must change yourself.”

OK then. Time to jump over that threshold!

Time to trust the herald, the mentors, the mastermind friends, the guides … myself.

I know what the future looks like. I’ve just been afraid to go there. Not anymore!

Thanks for visiting. Hope you come along on the journey. More next week. Promise!
