True Callings - Episode 5: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

It’s in every comic book. It’s even in every love story (bodice rippers included). In fact, it’s in almost every story ever written.

Some version of the mythological (and, some say, spiritual) hero’s journey.

Where ordinary people are asked (by circumstances beyond their own control) to do something that challenges them - something that shakes up their sense of who they are; what they’re capable of, what their life’s really about.

And every True Calling has some of that age-old story in it.

Problem is it often confuses the daylights out of people, ‘cause what they’re afraid it means to be ‘heroic’ and what it actually means are often two different things.

Which is where (oddly enough) the whole ‘shaken up’ sense of things begins to come into play.

It’s like JJ Abrams said in last episode’s feature video: when it comes to mystery boxes, what you’re actually getting and what you think you’re getting often ain’t the same. And that’s what makes life interesting - when you manage to shift your perception of it!

Speaking of JJ’s video, a big shout out to the winner of our Where’s Waldo – True Callings Clues Contest, Kelli Corcoran. Kelli has won one month’s complementary True Callings Coaching from yours truly! Congratulations Kelli!

Kelli’s list of Callings Clues came the closest to the correct number, which was (drum roll please!)… a whopping 49, which was why the piece blew us away when we first watched it!
