Welcome to issue #2 of the YouTopian Journey. Each week I will be sharing unique wisdom as well as a more in depth overview of the art work that is featured on the Instagram @youtopianjourney. This week we focus on the call to action and why it is paramount to not only answer it, but believe in it.
THE CALL
“Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell.”-Rollo May
Every individual on this planet has at one time or another, heard the call. This call is something that shocks them out of the routine of their daily lives. It leads to new paths and new horizons. The call is so powerful, the pull so strong, that many who have answered this call have not only changed their lives, but changed the world!
History is filled with many examples. A few of my favorite are…
Alexander the Great believing that he was descended from the Gods, setting out to conquer the known world.
Actress Ingrid Bergman (one of the most influential screen figures in history) that stated “I didn’t choose acting. It chose me.”
Steve Jobs being fascinated by electronics and the concept of a home computer, creating a company that would change everything.
This is where the YouTopian Journey begins, with the call to action! The call that wakes up the individual and opens their mind to new possibilities. To paths and riches that they never thought possible.
Yet you may be wondering that if this call is so powerful and ubiquitous, why haven’t the masses answered it?
Because it is easy to accept and difficult to execute.
