Before You Begin Your Journey: A Prologue to The Heroic Self
Before You Begin Your Journey: A Prologue to The Heroic SelfBy Aid
Through valuation only is there value; and without valuation the nut of existence would be hollow. Hear it, ye creating ones!
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
This blog is meant to introduce an approach to living. All who live are travelers of some sort. Whether you are literally moving from one place to another, or figuratively moving towards goals and aspirations, or even at a stand still, one cannot help moving forward in time and life. It is this constant change, of one moment to the next, of life circumstances, that is an unavoidable aspect of the human condition, which we inevitably struggle with at times, and must find ways to reconcile ourselves with.
The fact that we cannot help but travel is a given, yet so few take time to actively consider their journeys. Even those who are most convinced of where they want to end up, where they want to go next, and how to get there, can be absolutely blind to just where that path leads, why they pursue that path, and most importantly: whether they really chose that path of their own will. By reading this post, you are already making a choice to consider your journey, and in choosing to take part in that consideration, you are inviting a greater, more meaningful path to enter your life. If that is acceptable or (better yet) desirable to you, then this blog is for you, regardless of your age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, culture, religion, or political leaning.
This blog will not help you get rich quick, teach you how to get what you want from others, or make you happy for the rest of your life. You may even disagree with aspects of it, and (I hope) find other aspects of it personally challenging. However, if you take the time to read and follow these posts in their entirety, I guarantee you at least 2 RESULTS: you will develop a greater sense of ownership and mastery over your life journey, and you will receive some of the tools you need to transform from a dormant traveller into a Heroic Traveler. With these gifts, you will get to where you want to be in life, not merely wherever life will try to funnel you.
