The Hero’s Journey (Part 1?)

From ordinary life to crossing the threshold

Hi,

This week, being the first week of February I wrote about the hero’s Journey, and it’s resonated with a lot of you. We’re all always in some stage of the hero’s journey, and once we’re done, a new journey begins.

Here’s a recap of what the path looks like:

1. Ordinary life

2. Call to Adventure

3. Refusal of the Call

4. Allies and Mentors

5. Crossing the Threshold

For this week’s weekend challenge, I invited you to start by taking imperfect action.

In this abridged version of the hero’s journey, the next two steps are:

6. The Ordeal/Transformation

7. The Return and the Elixir

I will take some time before writing about the Ordeal and the Transformation, we’ve already got a lot to work with the first 5 steps, so we’re going stay here for ahwhile longer.

I’m proud of all the work I’ve written this week, not because of the work but because of all your responses.

And because this daily habit of writing has become such a habit, it doesn’t even feel like work, it’s just something I do everyday. And that’s what I’m hoping for you that I can help you build a creative habit that will help you live your creative dream.

There is compound benefit for daily habits, good and bad.

So just go ahead and steal 10 minutes from a bad habit and channel the time into this good habit.

Start now.
