In a previous post we mentioned our love for the new film, Finding Joe, about famed mythologist Joseph Campbell. If you haven't seen the film you can stream it right now at the site FINDING JOE.
One of the ideas from the film that stood out is the idea that we aren't separate from the characters we see in the movies. Harry Potter, Frodo, Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, pick any character you love and they are all metaphors for the universal human experience. It's one journey; not designed to be solely enjoyed on the screen as an escape, but to be lived out and integrated into our daily lives.

How To Be Your Own Superhero:
- Pick your top 3 heroes, people you admire whether real or movie characters.
- Now list the qualities you admire in these heroes.
- Next, consider how are you being called to bring forth these qualities in your own life. Where are they already showing up?
- Set an intention to embody the characters of the heroes you admire and watch how situations arise to support you in expressing these aspects of yourself.
"Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone;
for the heroes of all time have gone before us, the labyrinth is fully known;
we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path... we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.” - Joseph Campbell
