Do we still have Heroes in our 30s?

 Starting to understand what Matthew McConaughey says about his hero... 

"It's me in 10 years...every day, every week, every month, and every year of my life, my hero is always 10 years away. I'm never going to be my hero. I'm not going to attain that, I know I'm not. That's fine with me because it keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing."

To build on what I said last week about realizing how little I knew 10 years ago.. Cheers to that trend continuing because that means I'm learning something in this life. 

I've been thinking a bit about the hero's journey lately as well... I'm feeling called to change...

Here you are, living your life, and then BAM! Something happens.. A new person, something you notice, something you realize you don't enjoy anymore, conflict, etc... 

But you don't want to change anything, that sounds uncomfortable. And you could lose everything you have going for you right now. Is life really that bad? 

But alas, something (or someone) drives you to start taking steps into the unknown. And lo and behold, things do fall apart, lol. 

This kind of sucks. Perhaps it would have been better just to keep things how they were. Life was better in the "good old days." 

But so long as you get back up when you fall down, you will begin to learn something, to change, even if you don't notice it right away. 

Then before long, you surface, and looking back, you see how little you knew in the past, and how much you've learned and changed from your journey, your struggles, and your perseverance. Even if the journey kinda sucked along the way, it had it's good parts too, and you wouldn't change it for the world.
