How are You Creating Positive Action in the World?

So about 2 years ago I began working with an organization called Be Legendary. With the purpose of creating a world filled with people living and breathing their fullest potential, we facilitate a range of different events using philanthropic initiatives as the catalyst to connect the hearts and minds of each participant.

My work with this company has helped me ask myself the question, “How am I creating positive action in the world.”  I would crack open a beer, sit on the back deck, gaze at the stars and ponder what the world would look like if everyone was loving what they do as they helped create a better tomorrow.  What would waking up to that world be like?

Before I know it, I’m imagining a world of flying space shifts and ZERO spam mail, but I digress.

The truth is, a world filled with this awesome shit already exists.  I remember reading a statistic that tens of thousands of blogs are created everyday.

Needless to say a good portion of these are ramblings about inebriated adventures and self proclaimed importance.  But still a portion of those tens of thousands blogs have dedicated themselves to helping other people.

If there is one thing I have learned in my 23 years, it’s that no matter what you do, no matter what your purpose or passion is, it all revolves around this idea of helping others.

To see so many people rising to their personal calling – well that’s frickin’ inspiring.

That company I was talking about that I work for, Be Legendary, bases itself on the idea that each and everyone of us is born Legendary.  This I believe. But I also believe that somewhere along the way we loose sight of it.

And yet there are beacons of light both inside of us and around us that flash reminders of our amazing, visceral abilities.

And so Be Legendary is currently in the process of launching Legendary Instigators, a trusted resource of people creating positive action in the world.  And so it begs the question, how are you creating positive action in the world? Because the world needs more of you in it.

INTERESTED? Here’s what you can do:

Sign Up at Legendary Instigators, and give the world everything you’ve got.

Warning: Once you become aware of the possibilities you can have in this world – there is no turning back.

The Feeling of Being Alive

Joseph Campbell’s work continues to inspire me.  A few months ago I watched his documentary Finding Joe. Since then, I have watched it another three times. It is just packed with wisdom, all threaded together by his idea of the hero’s journey.

Each and everyone of us is our own greatest hero. We will embark upon adventures, face dragons, experience crisis, fight, fall, and persevere.  But in the end, it’s not the happy feeling of accomplishment we did it all for, it’s the feeling of being alive. It is about the moments of overcoming your dragons, the chase of the one you love, the fear of falling, and the courage of picking ourselves back up.

It is simply about being alive.
