Day 3: The Hero’s Journey & The Path to Mastery
Today’s session was all about understanding where you are in the story of your life and how to navigate challenges with purpose and clarity.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Your Life is a Story – Every great story is built on a hero’s journey, and your life follows the same pattern. You begin in an ordinary world, experience a “call to adventure,” face resistance, meet mentors, battle external and internal enemies, and ultimately transform into a stronger version of yourself.
✅ Where Are You in Your Story? – Hard seasons (divorce, financial loss, health battles) can feel permanent, but they’re not. Winter isn’t forever—growth comes when you persist, stay relentless, and understand where you are in the journey.
✅ Your Life is Either a Warning or an Example – Every major religious book, including the Bible, is filled with stories of warnings (what happens when you don’t follow the right path) and examples (what happens when you do). You get to decide which one your life will be.
✅ Certainty Creates Action – Hope is great, but it’s not enough. Certainty fuels action. Without certainty, you hesitate. The four key forces inside you—Warrior, Magician, Lover, and Sovereign—help you navigate challenges and take action with confidence.
✅ Master the 7 Areas of Life – If one area of life is weak, it throws everything off balance. Rate yourself from 0-10 in these areas:
1️⃣ Physical health & energy
2️⃣ Emotional strength & meaning
3️⃣ Relationships (especially intimate ones)
4️⃣ Time management (do you control time or does it control you?)
5️⃣ Career & mission (is it a job, career, or calling?)
6️⃣ Finances (where you are vs. where you want to be?)
7️⃣ Spirituality, contribution, & celebration
✅ The 5 Things That Hold You Back:
1️⃣ Fear (failure, success, rejection, pain, unknown)
2️⃣ Limiting beliefs or negative stories
3️⃣ Overwhelm & stress
4️⃣ Bad habits
5️⃣ Lack of skill
✅ The Path to Change (The Hero’s Journey Applied to Your Life):
1️⃣ Clarify your vision – What do you REALLY want in one key area of life? Be specific.
2️⃣ Face the truth – Identify what’s actually stopping you (fear, beliefs, habits, etc.)
3️⃣ Create a Massive Action Plan (MAP) – List every possible action, then pick the top 20% that will get you 80% of the results.
4️⃣ Slay the dragon – Do what’s hard. Growth comes from pushing through resistance.
5️⃣ Find your "who" – Instead of asking how, ask who—who has already mastered this area that you can learn from?
✅ The Power of Rituals & Identity Shift – Two powerful video stories were shared today about overcoming extreme life challenges. One woman lost both her daughters and her marriage but rewrote her story by focusing on love, contribution, and honoring her children. Another woman overcame opioid addiction and chronic illness to rebuild her life.
