THE CALL TO ADVENTURE

Written By Duane Nelson

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. The call to adventure is your invitation to come alive on your personal hero’s journey, escape the cave of ignorance, and live with lightening in your veins. You are the only one with the power to make this journey.

  2. Three epiphanies essential to navigate the hero’s journey are captured by the E2=M2C2 formula. Everthing Evolves. Mindfulness Matters. and Curiosity Creates. Experimenting with these epiphanies in the laboratory of your mind will enhance your life beyond your wildest dreams.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  1. “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”—Heraclitus

  2. “Most people, including we, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance because it is all we know. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It’s true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don’t care. Once you’ve tasted the truth, you won’t ever want to go back to being ignorant.”  —Socrates

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

Namaste,
