The Hero’s Journey (Part 1): Full Circle | Jake Haber

Join us for Part 1 of our Hero's Journey series as we look at Joseph Campbell's "monomyth" structure, the process of leaving & returning, and the gifts that we discover in the unknown. 

 

Quotes:

 

“Meaning is not an idea to be agreed with. It is a feeling you get when you live as a hero on a mission. And it cannot be experienced without taking action and living into a story.” - Donald Miller

 

“What each must seek in (their) life never was on land or sea. It is something out of (their) own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else” - Joseph Campbell

 

"Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth" - Paolo Coelho (The Alchemist)

 

”Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman

 

“The most beautiful people I’ve known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.” - Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
