The Hero's Journey: Leaving the Castle and Slaying the Dragon

So tell me more about that. That's really good stuff there. I should be selling real estate in Scottsdale, getting yelled at by my older brother telling me to make more phone calls. But I think a lot of the excuses people are making is because they have a lot of pressure from their family or they've never left the island and they don't know what's out there or they're just comparing themselves to others that have never left the castle. And so you read about these fables. It's really a hero's journey. You're supposed to leave a castle, slay a dragon, and save a princess. How are you supposed to do it unless it's planned out for you? And so I'm not telling you to steal a car and drive cross-country. I was building on momentum from the second language, getting better at it, interning during college, certain jobs post-grad. So my goodness gracious, you see the trajectory. You see where it's going. This is... And you want to know something else? When somebody does wax on, wax off, dedicated practice above and beyond what work or school expects of you, reading the extra book, going, as you say, to the seminars, meeting the people, my God, is that a spark in somebody? You should never put that out if they're really practicing that violin and piano, no matter how it sounds, because they're living life, they're drinking it. And that could always lead to other things, too.
