Along the Way
In the movie “The Way”, Martin Sheen plays a doctor and father (Tom) who suffers the loss of his son, a son that wasn’t doing what Tom thought he should be doing. While collecting his son’s ashes he decides to “walk in his son’s shoes (which can never really be done, because shoes can’t talk or think, or reflect, or experience – so it’s still “US” doing the walking).
The Way is the journey of the dark night of the soul. It’s the complete collapse of the meaning of life as we know it. It’s when everything that we thought we knew or believed in becomes too painful to live with and so we are forced to evaluate the “meaning of life”. Many of us experience a dark night of the soul in our early 20’s, and often again later in life. If we’re lucky there is a mentor or guide available to help us along this very dark and painful road; but sometimes we just survive it and it shows up again, still waiting for the discovery of Truth.
The way is always a journey we must undertake alone; but not without guidance and help. Leadership In Action is a guide that will help you take the necessary steps towards a new and more exciting life. I’m on the journey of Life Coach in Transformation won’t you join me?
