Hub You - Living Life Out of Purpose Instead of Need
The Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].THERE IS ONLY ONE STORYTHE HERO'S JOURNEY:a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four
A successful businessman might cheat on his wife and risk losing everything out of a need for attention. His secretary meets this need by listening to everything he says, and he loves how good he feels when the need is met. A pastor of a large church might leave a very successful ministry all because he doesn’t feel appreciated for all his hard work. His need for appreciation is so strong it pulls him to do something he never would have dreamed of doing.
A Christian who is motivated by need is in bondage; all their thoughts and decisions are dictated by their need, and therefore they serve the need instead of the Lord.
Example:
A person who needs to be shown appreciation may spend their life serving others instead of doing the thing that God has called them to do. They will not be hap
In this day and age most Americans are surviving week-to-week or at best, month-to-month. When we buy houses or cars, we frequently pay more attention to the amount of the monthly loan or lease payment than to the actual price of the house or car. With savings at an all-time low, many of us are forced to spend our money as we make it, and hope and pray we can keep up with payments.The average college graduate, even from America's top universities, is no different. Recent grads particularly feel the pinch, since parental support usually ends at graduation, and job hunting can take a few months. Even those fortunate enough to land a job straight away often find themselves in a low-paid entry-level position.And to make matters worse, the new graduate - excited to start the career for which he has been preparing - is painfully reminded that he is now responsible for repaying $10,000 to $100,000+ in student loans. With the cost of educatio
But if you are living life out of need, all your decisions will be made based on how you feel. When things are going your way you will feel good; and when things are not going your way, you will feel bad.
You may not be going forward because you find yourself camping out at the place where you "feel good." Or the opposite may be true for you if you are living life out of need; then everyday may be like riding a rollercoaster. Some days you are way up and some days you are way down. A roller coaster goes up and then quickly drops way down. Also, a roller coaster does not go anywhere, it just has a predetermined track that it runs on.
People who live life out of need also have a predetermined track they run on. They do the same thing over and over and expect different results. Some people love roller coasters because of the feeling they get - the adrenaline rush they feel when it is creeping up the track, and then all of a sudden, the drop. This can also become a way of life if you live life out of need. Getting attention can give you that adrenaline rush; but if you are getting attention from the wrong person, you will feel dropped when the attention is gone. People who live life out of need will stay on the same track trying to get that need met the same way only to find that they end up in the same place every time. They're not going anywhere.
People of purpose experience fulfillment knowing they are pressing on towards the mark or the goal that has been set. The journey to reach that goal will be hard, and there will be ups and downs, but at least they know they are going somewhere. A person with purpose does not pay as much attention to the ups and downs as they do to the destination. They are not dependent on the need to feel good. This is why a person who is living out of need is always distracted by the ups and downs, and how good it feels when they are up and how bad it feels when they are down. The goal of this article is to help you come to the point that you begin to do what you do out of purpose instead of out of need. So you can make the journey and fulfill your purpose instead of just going around and around and up and down on a rollercoaster ride. The first step is to determine if you are living life out of purpose or out of need.
Living life out of need
Everyone needs to feel accepted and approved and to have someone's attention or appreciation for what they have done. You feel good when you know you are accepted and you meet someone’s approval. These needs are valid and legitimate. But if you become consumed with having your needs met, you will get off track. These emotional needs have such a strong invisible pull that they can dictate and direct many of our decisions in life. These needs can actually get you off track as you move towards the goal of fulfilling your purpose. It is easy to get off track because unmet emotional needs create a deep void inside that demands to be filled. If these needs are not met, they have such a strong pull that many people will do things they never thought they would do just to get their needs met. Before you realize it you find yourself consumed with getting your needs met, and now you are living life out of need instead of purpose.

Classic cars are either inherited or are collected as a hobby by many people. Classic cars are treated in a special way and therefore the types of policies offered are also different. Collector vehicle insurance can be, quite different from standard auto insurance on the basis of availability, coverage, and cost. It is in the interest of the collector, to understand the differences and accordingly opt for the right policy.Regular or standard insurance companies usually do not provide classic car insurance. There are specialized companies in the market that provide this type of insurance. These companies understand the requirements of a collector and offer a policy based on the model, color, usage, value, and age of the vehicle. However, as the classic car is valuable and its value increases with time, the risk for the insurance company is more with this type of insurance. Therefore, there are many restrictions on the collector towards the us

Several agencies of the US government support departments that have mandates to help you increase your export sales and minimize risks with regard to the sales of products and services to Africa. These departments exist within US agencies such as the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Department of Commerce, and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. All are supported by a relatively recent law called: The African Growth and Opportunity Act. The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was signed into law by President Bush on May 18, 2000 as Title 1 of The Trade and Development Act of 2000. The Act offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets.The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) has been modified three times to increase exports to Africa.In the first modification, AGOA was changed in to substantially expand preferential access for im

There are various laptop cases which cater to the numerous models of available laptops. Although many laptops come with a case, they are not up to the mark, being either too small or too bulky for use. Laptop cases are most required by those who travel a lot and tend to carry around their laptop, and of course for those who want to maintain the look and the safety of the pc.There are a variety of laptop cases available on the market; one just has to buy according to one’s needs. There are aluminum laptop cases, leather laptop cases and even the more feminine women’s laptop cases. When choosing the right laptop case, one first has to determine the size of the laptop it’s going to carry. The important thing is for the laptop to fit easily and snugly into the laptop case, so choose wisely. Not only are there different-sized laptop cases, the styles and price also vary accordingly. There are basic neoprene-sleeved laptop cases and also the actua

Whenever someone asks “I want to be an entrepreneur, what kind of business should I start?” I always scratch my head with confusion. An entrepreneur would never ask “What kind of business should I start?”People tend to use “entrepreneur” and “business owner” interchangeably, but in reality these terms mean completely different things.Entrepreneurs are creative thinkers and innovators. They come up with ideas and almost instantly have a plan to profit from them. They love challenges and they aren’t afraid of risks.Business owners play it safe. They have a primary vision and that is what they stick to. Business owners generally look at what has been done, and use that as their model.Entrepreneurs understand that they don’t have to be knowledgeable in all areas. They believe that you don’t have to know everything; you just have to know where to find the information when you need it.Business owners are more likely to

A Christian who is motivated by need is in bondage; all their thoughts and decisions are dictated by their need, and therefore they serve the need instead of the Lord.
Example:
A person who needs to be shown appreciation may spend their life serving others instead of doing the thing that God has called them to do. They will not be happy or satisfied living life trying to get this need met. If you are doing what you do in order to get a need met through your own efforts, it will not work. Our own self efforts will always hinder God’s provision. If you orchestrate it, then you defile it. If you do what you do in order to gain appreciation, then you are living life out of need instead of purpose.
A person who has a need for acceptance may spend half their life going from place to place trying to find where they fit in, trying to find a place where they are accepted or even celebrated. Their goal in life is to find someone who accepts them, therefore they are living life out of need instead of purpose.
A person who has a need for approval will spend countless hours trying to impress others doing whatever it takes to gain their approval. Even if it means working long hours or moving across the country, the need for approval is so great they will do almost anything. Their goal is to get to a point of accomplishment so they will receive approval from those they respect. The problem is they become dependent on the people that give them that much needed approval. A dependency on others for approval will cause you to turn from living life out of purpose to living life out of need.
The need for attention may cause a person to do whatever it takes to be the center of attention. This need usually shows up when there is a crowd and the person does something to steal the show. Even if it is just for a moment, the need has been met. They will not be satisfied for long because they are living life out of need instead of purpose. They can't move forward because they are stuck on the same track doing the same thing always trying to get that much needed attention.
