The oldest human story is the hero's journey. Every culture has it. What is the hero's journey? Your life is ordinary, meaning what you're used to, and then something comes along and disrupts it massively. Your place burns down, someone in your family has cancer. I was told I had a tumor in my brain at one point. Somebody dies, uh, you get robbed. I mean, I don't care how smart you are, how beautiful you are, how spiritual you are, how rich you are, you're going to have extreme stress at some point. If you can manage through that, what What it is is really a call to a new life, to something you would never do. Like, I would never have left the Del Mar Castle. It was a home I built from castles in Europe, an absolute place for my family. But because it was disrupted, I went on the journey of uncertainty. We built a new home because we had to. We met new people. I met some new mentors. I made some new decisions. I fought some new battles. And eventually, if you grow, you slay the dragon. You come home the hero of your life, and you have something to give other people. It's not book knowledge. It's real. And then as soon as you get comfortable, it comes again. It never stops. It never stops. But hopefully you get better quality challenges.
