Lead The Hero's Journey
Long time ago I was reading a book on
human behavior.
The author was describing a lot of our
"learned" behaviors look instinctive,
since we all do the same things.
But in reality, we all have the same
structure as children, so we learn the
same behaviors.
The example given was shaking our
heads back and forth to say "no."
When we're very, very young, we can't
move our neck muscles very much.
Only slightly to the side.
When we want something, we open
our mouths and make a noise.
Hopefully we'll get some milk. But
then when we're full, the idea of "no"
pops into our head.
And the only thing we can do when we
think that thought, is turn our heads
slightly to the side.
This is the same reasoning Joseph
Campbell gave for explaining why most
mythology shares the same structure.
Young boy or girl in a safe but boring
place.
Something pulls them into some wild
"hero's journey," where they learn
new skills make new friends.
He explained (in one of his books) this
is precisely what we go through when
we are born.
Womb to birth canal to the world.
Our lives start out as a hero's journey.
And if you're honest with yourself,
every new experience, every new
situation, every new phase of life is yet
another hero's journey.
We also have a lot of the same
shortcomings and fears.
Public speaking, walking across the
room to talk to an interesting person,
suddenly being the focus of social
attention.
All these were "learned" in childhood.
If we keep stumbling through life on
auto pilot, we'll never know.
We'll just think "we" are broken, or
something's wrong with us.
But when you realize that we are ALL
in the same boat, we ALL have the
same fears, it's not so bad.
Especially when you consider that
person you want to talk to is scared of
the same things you are.
Those people in that social scenario
who are all staring at you are GLAD it's
you and not them.
When you stand up to give a speech,
people are imagining it's them and are
nervous.
The EASIEST way to blast through all
those irrational fears is to simply go
first.
Set an example.
Show everybody it's not so bad.
This isn't so difficult when you
remember that everybody around you
has the same fears, uncertainties and
anxieties as you.
Show them how easy it is.
