| Companion Workbook Adventures on the Quest |
In every era of history and in every culture, people have created and cherished the story of a hero or heroine whose life is transformed by traveling on a special journey. From primitive myth and beloved folktales to literary classics and modern science fiction, we humans continue to identify with this journey and its quest for the prize.
Why is it we are so drawn to stories of the quest? Because they are symbolic of our own journeys through life, with challenges to overcome and the ultimate prize to capture.
These stories do not belong solely to their heroes or heroines, they belong to us all. They are your story. You are the champion of your own quest.
Compelling quest stories inspire and encourage us because they strike a chord within our own hearts--hearts which have been waiting for a call to action. We are fascinated by the heroes and heroines of the legends, secretly yearning to emulate their victories and to set forth on our own quests, achieving our own transformations. We're especially heartened when a real-life individual triumphs over great hardships. We feel good, since we know what one person can do, others can also do.
We each have our own visions of what our prize should be. You have yours. But the truth is that in essence our quests are all the same--to know and to experience a greater power in our lives that enables us to be authentic. Although we might not realize it, this is what we all want. (Isn't this, after all, what you really want?)
When Michelangelo was asked how he could carve his magnificent David out of a shapeless block of marble, he replied that David had always been in the stone. A sculptor merely had to remove what was not David! The Quest will not "teach" you anything. Rather, it will help you remove all that is not the real you. It will help the sacred part of you to emerge, just as the figure of David, imprisoned in the marble for so long, was finally allowed to emerge.
No matter your circumstances, no matter what the past or present, you are right this moment standing at Possibility Junction. The spirit of life is alive and well and living in you! It is longing to express itself through you in new and marvelous ways. If you feel drawn to pick up your walking stick and journey forth on your own quest for a better life, we invite you to take The Quest with you as your guide. Like all of our books, The Quest is packed with practical, clear and simple help for making your life better.
