This is an interesting concept. Has anyone watched videos by Elliot Hulse before? He's a self-made personal trainer who's put out hundreds of videos on youtube, some sharing his own views on life and others responses to his viewers on how to overcome mediocrity and become "the best version of yourself" and generally succeed in life.
In this video, he talks about the "hero's journey", and how many men nowadays (in the US particularly) are refusing their call to their own personal journey and will therefore be trapped in lives of mediocrity. Not only that, but if you fail to answer the call, you will be reincarnated and repeat the process all over again!

He also calls it the "call to adventure" that all of us have had in life (feeling this call are usually around 14, 23-24, and then in the 40s, the "mid-life crisis").
He bases this on the concept of the monomyth, from the Joseph Campbell book, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces"

The problem I see with these videos is that they're very impressionable on viewers, but don't offer specific advice on how to approach a "call to adventure". Does that mean we are supposed to follow every "whim" of adventure that we feel at the moment? At one point, I thought of joining the army but in my mental state back then I would have been chewed up and spit out before week 1 of basic.
Have you all every experienced an inner "call to adventure" that you refused and later regretted? What about following that call, did everything turn out for the better?
