“How do you overcome all the crap that life throws at you, still have a good attitude and seem so excited about the future?”
That has been a common question I’ve been asked by various people over the years. My answer was, “Jesus and superheroes.”
Superheroes come from a literary template written about by Joseph Campbell (The Hero’s Journey) that can be codified and translated into useful tools for our own lives.
These simplified stages of life: The Call, The Quest, The Battles, The Victories, and The Continuing Adventures, can help us understand where we are within the trials of life and use our unique traits and skills to win the battles.
