The Leap of Faith

Only in the leap from the lion’s head will he prove his worth.

The Hero’s Journey is like a bridge. One in which it leaves the old world behind you and brings you to the new. The path in between is invisible though, scary and often much more arduous than shown in this scene.

To successfully make the journey, you need to continually frame yourself in the arc of understanding the old world that is dying and the new world you’re trying to reach. This gives you the impetus and momentum to step forward but also the inner bearing to step in the right direction.

You must believe.

Shifting Perspectives

Paddy Ashdown: The global power shift

Increasingly we are going to have to do business
with people with whom we do not share values
but with whom for the moment we share common interests.

We are now interdependent. We are now interlocked.
As nations, as individuals, in a way that has never been the case before.

The paradigm structure for our time is the network.

The most important thing about what you can do
is what you can do with others.

Fight For Liberty

You are not machines. You are not cattle.
You are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts.
You don’t hate, only the unloved hate.
Only the unloved and the unnatural.
Soldiers: don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty.

Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator
