You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or a path, it is someone else’s path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else’s way, you are not going to realize your potential.”

~ Joseph Campbell, 20th Century Philosopher & Mythology Expert from A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living

That pretty much sums it up.

Are you following someone else’s path? If so, you aren’t going to realize your potential.

Engage in your hero’s journey!

Find your own way.
