Jeff Sandefer speech titled "A Hero's Journey outlined how to find our entrepreneurial calling in life. Some of the things which he said caught my attention and got me thinking. I have since started applying and experimenting on some of the things he said. They are indeed true.
We all have a very special mission on this earth. A mission that will succeed beyond our wildest dreams, if we have the faith and the courage to find our entrepreneurial calling. In his speech, he repeated this statement twice just to emphasize how important it is. We all have callings in life. It takes faith and courage to find it.
What does it mean to choose a hero's journey? It means to live every moment of our lives like it matters because it does. It means to live as if we have an important mission because we do. It means seeing struggles as adventures, and setbacks as lessons. I am touched by the statement "seeing struggles as adventures, and setbacks as lessons." Life becomes more interesting to live if we see our struggles as adventures. It means it has a purpose. There is a lesson for every setback. We should make efforts to learn them and move on. Completion of the journey is not as important as who we have become in the process.
Jeff Sandefer shared the following sentiments: "At the end of life, only three questions will matter; have I contributed something meaningful? Am I a good person? And who did I love, and who loved me? Nothing about money or power or fame. All of that will fade and only three questions remain.
These three questions should shape all that we do here on earth in trying to fulfill our calling. What our calling is so important that we should never give up the search for what it is until we find it. In the process of doing this, we should seek out something we love doing and become world-class at it. Doing that will attract the attention of people and in the process, we can bless the lives of others. Every gift in the world meets a need in the world. We must find what the need is.
