“Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.”
~ Joseph Campbell, 20th Century Philosopher & Mythology Expert from A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living
How funny is it that we get stressed b/c we don’t know exactly how everything is going to turn out?
Um…
Can you imagine a life where everything goes exactly as planned?
It’s pretty much called “Groundhog Day.”
Not so good.
Embrace the unknown and celebrate the excitement it generates!
…
“Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure.”
“There is no security in following the call to adventure.”

The way you create any outcome in your life is to hold the vision of your deepest desires. At the same time, though, you must honestly and accurately assess your current situation and how it relates to your greater vision. By doing this, you engage tension between what is and what can be. This tension is the primary creative force behind the manifestation of any outcome. It’s as natural and powerful as the force of gravity.
