To be alive is not to remain intact. It is to be shaped, unsettled, revised by experience again and again. Every moment that asks something of us is quietly rewriting who we are, whether we notice it or not. Stability may feel comforting, but it is rarely where consciousness deepens.

Maturity, then, is not arrival but participation. It is the courage to keep forming oneself in the face of uncertainty, to allow change without mistaking it for loss. We are not finished beings moving through time. We are ongoing creations, shaped by what we choose to become next.

“The hero journey is one of the universal patterns through which that radiance shows brightly. What I think is that a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons. Each time, there is the same problem: do I dare? And then if you do dare, the dangers are there, and the help also, and the fulfillment or the fiasco. There’s always the possibility of a fiasco….But there’s also the possibility of bliss.”
-Joseph Campbell
