Shannon H Finding Me I think that what Joseph Campbell’s “follow your bliss” means that once you find a passion for something you should devote your life to that love. Your bliss or passion can be doing whatever you love doing for a few minutes a day, or even if possible, make a career out of it. I suppose the first step is finding that passion. For me, following my bliss is discovering myself. Right now, that is exploring career fields and hobbies I might consider taking up. Most interesting for me currently is Firefighting and becoming a police officer.
I often find myself craving dangerous adventures, preferrably the kind that involve life or death situations. I guess I find my life to be boring and I would like to change that. I am the type of person that enjoys helping others. I don’t know how well I will deal with situations that require me to be around corpses or dying people but I’m sure over time I could adjust a little better. I am trying to find a way to get more exposure to both fields. One of the men that speak in the video the class watched says “don’t listen to dad- he wants security [for you].
If you get security first you will never find your bliss” but I disagree because personally what I want in a career is security. I want a steady job that will be the reason I can support myself and my family comfortably, but I dont want just any job. I want a job I will actually enjoy doing. I am trying to become more physically active so that I can find out if there are any sports I enjoy playing and might become passionate about. I find a lot of things to be more diffucult than they should be because I don’t really know anything about myself.
The Essay on It Makes More Sense Nowadays to Find a Job Than Study for a Degree
Some people think that one should find a job right after finishing the secondary school. Workers who have worked in companies for many years consider finding asteady job prior to study for a degree. They are more inclined towards part-time study and ascending the social ladder reliably. I believe that it makes much more sense to study for a certain degree than to employ at the earliest ...
I am pretty indifferent when it comes to having an opinion in my life. I’m in different about what university or college I go to after high school, I am in different in the majority of class discussions. If I am not indifferent about the subject it is most likely I dislike it for a fallous reason. Activities I find myself enjoying, I am still not passionate about. I enjoy reading and writing but I do not want to continue it further outside of classroom requirements. I read on my own occasionally still but I don’t have a passion for reading, and it doesnt make me happy just jealous of characters.
I enjoyed drama so I considered getting involved with that as an activity outside of school but nothing professionally or anything. I am not confiedent in myself with acting, especially enough to audition against people who are more experienced than me. I have auditioned for two school plays and I got a call back for both but I didn’t get a part in either play which is very discouraging and since I’m not doing well in my drama class that doesn’t seem like a good option anymore.
I think the biggest dragons in my life that I have to face would have to be irrational emotions, like fear of rejection and feeling inadequate. When I dont feel as though I am good enough I don’t put out my best effort, which causes me to be unsuccessful. I also don’t like to try new things because I might not be good at what I’m trying. I tried learning how to skateboard but I wasnt good right away so I gave up. In the video that we watched in class on Youtube, one of the people said “we are all tigers living with sheep” which is something I strongly agree with.
I am the main character in my life’s story which to me means that I am not meant to follow the crowd but I am to stand out and be myself and not what everyone else wants of me. The video clips also talks about how “your life is the fruit of your doing [and y]ou have no one to blame but yourself”; this is another statement I agree with because you are the cause of every success and failure you experience. You are the cause of evry oppertunity you miss out on. You can’t blame anyone else when you fail a test, its your fault that you didn’t study, its your fault that you weren’t paying attention to the lesson in class and your notes suck.
The Essay on Ways to make learning a fun experience in school
‘East is east and west is west. Never the twain shall meet’ said Rudyard Kipling. ‘Learning is learning and fun is fun. Never the twain shall meet’ said a student. It is time to make that possible now. It is time to end the era in which children hated school. It is time to get rid of the old teaching techniques and keep in pace with modern day technology. It is time to stop using the chalk on the ...
If I am experiencing my own Hero’s Journey, I missed the intital call. I can look at my life and see that I am in the stage of seperation since I am alone a lot and none of my friends make time for me. I suppose anything else that I attempt that is new could be the intitation stage and I haven’t progressed enough to come back or learned my lesson to become a better person. I have ways to go if I am to complete the Hero’s Journey and to find my bliss and follow it.
