Aloha to all of you out there,
You probably have noticed that the name
of the blog has changed… or maybe you haven’t. Well it has!
I am currently enrolled at Watson University (an
immersive
experience to launch university-level student innovators, leaders,
entrepreneurs and dreamers) and
as part of my incredible experience; we had an opportunity to screen the movie
"Finding Joe". We also got the chance to chat via Skype with the
writer, producer and director of the movie - Patrick Takaya Solomon.
Inspired by the great mythologist Joseph
Campbell, Solomon interviews notable authors, teachers, and athletes who each
explore the concept of the hero’s journey - the journey of self discovery.
Over the next couple of months, I will
be embarking on my journey of self discovery and I encourage you all to come
along and do same for it is a truly liberating process.
In a nutshell, this movie which I
totally recommend is about finding your bliss.
Bliss is often defined as perfect
happiness, great joy but I believe it can be summarized in the following quote:
"The
privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." Joseph Campbell
That is because in today’s world, we are
often too busy and spend time following conventional cultural and societal norms.
And now some of my favorite Joseph
Campbell quotes:
“We
must be willing to get rid of the life we have planned so as to have the life
that is waiting for us”.
“We’re
not on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves. But in doing that
you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes”.
“Follow
your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only
walls”.
