I was looking over a satirical list of things that I had learned in high school, and actually came across something that really holds true ... which seems to be a recurring theme because it was in one of my college lit classes as well.
If any of you have heard of Joseph Campbell, you know that he is a great writer and leading man on mythology. A phrase that he goes on in essays, movies, tales to describe is that
"The Hero's Journey always begins with the call to adventure."
This is such a true statement - if you've ever read Beowulf, King Arthur, Lord of the Rings, or seen Star Wars, you see this truth. Yeah, it's a pretty simple, basic statement, but can also be an impactful philosophy. Take advantage of opportunities that are given to you. Explore your world. Carpe diem! Rise up to challenges, make your life an adventure - even in little ways.
I think that this really applies to my new start in this blog, because this is a new adventure for me. It's going to be so interesting to explore my own thoughts and ideas, even mental notes that I make during the day, or random sidenotes.
Another thing is that I really would love comments from others. They are extremely welcome ;-)
I think that since the name of this blog is Life Lingo, I would pick out words that have to do with that particular blog, just a word that I can take from the post and try to apply to my life or use in some way - even if it is just repeating a silly word a few times a day.
The word from this blog definitely has to be adventure. Life is an adventure.
