Uncovering Life’s Plot
Watch the talk
The plot embryo can help us make sense of our experiences and hindsight. It can help us look at the hardships we've endured, our real life experiences in the context of our growth as human beings and how they have forced us to level up
That's really what life is, a series of unfamiliar hardships which change us; of successes and failures, of learning and failing to learn
We are the descendants of thousands of heroic plot embryos. We are the descendants of creatures who experienced unfamiliar hardships, hostile environments, and successfully adapted to them.
If you are standing on the edge of a new phase in your life, if you have to do something you've never done before, which is really terrifying, just knowing that you cannot succeed and flourish and grow without leaving your comfort zone behind, can help give you the courage to do so.
I didn't know if I was in a tragic story, or a heroic one.
