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.”
