Being The Hero(ine) Of Your Own Life Self Help Articles | November 27 Brennan Besser Jersey , 2008
In order to turn it around, we all need to keep our own thoughts and focus positive as pervasive negative news and commentary is contagious.? Fear is the prevalent feeling at this time for many, I have actually been reflecting the opposite which is faith, and that?s what we need to cultivate now.
As I'm writing your newsletter on this October Sunday afternoon, I'm half-reading Tennyson's "Ulysses," half-watching the New Orleans Saints play the San Diego Chargers at Wembley (on tv!) , and wholly reflecting on what to write to my lovely past, present Brandon Ingram Jersey , and future coaching clients that will inspire them amidst the daily gloom and barrage of economic news and headlines. (And no, I'm not an Enneagram type 7, to those of you who may be speculating about my apparent multi-tasking)!
One of my current coaching clients works (worked) at Lehmans and many, indeed most, others are directly or indirectly affected by the implications of the current climate. The pervasive negative news and commentary is contagious and we all need to keep our own thoughts and focus positive in order to turn it around. While fear is the prevalent feeling for many at the moment, I've been reflecting that actually the opposite of fear is faith, and that's what we are called on to cultivate now.
So what's the connection between American football, Tennyson Austin Rivers Jersey , and the economic climate? Let's start with the New Orleans football team, the aptly named Saints. Their triumphant return to the previously battered New Orleans stadium, the place of refuge for many during the city's floods and itself a symbol of the devastation of the city, signalled a resurgence of hope and faith in the city's spirit and its future. When the band played "When The Saints Go Marching In" at the beginning of the game, apparently the pride of the New Orleans people attending and watching was palpable, and the broken spirit of New Orleans began to revitalize and heal, emerging stronger than before.
Tennyson's "Ulysses" tells a similar story, though a sea voyage rather than flood is the opportunity for the hero's journey. As those of you who read the September issue of this newsletter will know Antonio Vrankovic Jersey , in every issue I'm choosing a piece of literature to reflect on for wisdom and inspiration. In this issue it's Tennyson's stirring well-known poem, "Ulysses." The poem is about a middle-aged hero, back from his odyssey, burnt-out, disorientated, tired and weary, but determined to embark on a new heroic journey and not give in to disappointment and loss. You can read the full poem on this link: http:www.eecs.harvard.edu~keithpoemsUlysses
Many of you may be familiar with the poem, and especially the famous last lines:
"Come Amile Jefferson Jersey , my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive Duke Blue Devils Jersey , to seek, to find, and not to yield."
Amidst all the fear, of financial loss and job loss and other changes too that we all face inevitably through our lives, we need to remember who we are in our essence, who we have the potential to be, and use the crisis as an exciting opportunity to be the hero of our own life.
My coaching client Lisa from Lehmans is responding to her job loss as a call to adventure, an exciting springboard from which to charge forward and discover her true vocation Eric Bledsoe Jersey , something that will reflect who she really is, that will be illuminated by her values. Adversity therefore creates a real opportunity to find deep fulfilment in a work that rewards beyond the material and reflects her at her best. (She actually started working with me a few months before Lehmans collapsed with a view to discovering and creating her true vocation and was happily already on her journey with a head-start.) At the moment we're considering what her values, strengths, and personality type suggest about inspiring work paths outside banking, and anything and everything is still possible. I'll keep you posted, but we're both excited to see what lies ahead at the end of this particular journey. Lisa has kindly given me permission to include her story here and is happy to give readers an update on her progress in due course!
Joseph Campbell, one of my favourite writers, once said that "the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." That brings us back to Tennyson's wonderful line "that which we are Enes Kanter Jersey , we are." In order to be fully who we are, to discover our depths and potential and then to live it, we are usually called on an adventure or quest. This could be a sea voyage like that of Ulysses, or Bilbo Baggins' semi-reluctant quest with the wizard Gandalf and the dwarves to find and kill the dragon and seize the treasure (I'm currently reading "The Hobbit" to Christopher, my 10 year-old son), or it could be exploring your own new worlds like my lovely Lehmans client is now doing. Or you in your own adventure, whatever it may be. As Campbell writes, "We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned DSIPSFINEST Jersey , so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The heroic life is living the individual adventure."
The hero's journey in Campbell's account involves leaving our familiar existence after a call to adventure, crossing the threshold, venturing out into the unknown, our sea journey, and going through tests, trials, initiations, facing danger as we discover our prize or treasure DeAndre Liggins Jersey , whether it's finding wisdom, waking the sleeping princess or our own metaphorical inner sleeping princess, or finding an elixir for the restoration of society, like the New Orle .
