The Greatest Expedition you will ever undertake is the journey to self-understanding, for the real voyage consists not in discovering new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.
The Pandemic has tested everyone in some way. Many, like us, have lost loved ones, business stability, and personal opportunities. Veterans, first responders, police, entrepreneurs, parents, and patriots are fighting to retain freedom, liberty, and personal responsibility.
Our biology hasn't evolved to cope with the rapidly accelerating changes confronting us. We fail to understand the chaos around us because we haven't learned much about the flaws in our thinking or the subtleties of living well with the physical body or life circumstances we were gifted.
Most people still believe that 'Know Thyself' is a luxury. Wrong. It's become a full-out competition. Storytelling is either a superpower or Kryptonite - depending on its aim. It turns out that storytelling with modern tools makes a huge difference in summiting our Personal Everest - of making sense of chaos and overcoming challenges.
SCOTOMAVILLE starts with practical examples of blind-spots and cognitive biases, and ends 30 video episodes with a convincing challenge that we can chose to change our life experiences by gaming our own handicaps. We can strengthen our independence, rather than yielding to dependency. We can each challenge our shortcomings and change our false beliefs by taking on a Personal Everest - a journey with a purpose - literally an Expedition of personal development.
"The Greatest Expedition you will ever undertake is the journey to self-understanding, for the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." I challenge you to take up the adventure of getting out of Scotomaville."
The Scotomaville program is especially suited for self-motivated personal development candidates, including:
Curious Explorers Ambitious Entrepreneurs Functional Aspergians Military Veterans Veteran Service Providers Wounded Warriors Christian Storytellers Noble Fathers Fatherless Champions
"... but when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money— booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way."
The Greatest Expedition you'll ever undertake is the journey to self-understanding. I invite you on that journey!
