"Follow your bliss." ~ Joseph Campbell from A Joseph Campbell Companion
Those three words capture the message of Joseph Campbell—the amazing mythology guru and mentor to George Lucas who based much of Star Wars on the classic archetypal journeys Campbell documented.
It's rather simple.
Three words: 1. Follow. 2. Your. 3. Bliss.
Key words: "bliss" and "your." Not someone else's idea of your bliss. Not what you think should be your bliss. Not what you think would impress the crowd or appease the family.
YOUR bliss. What truly gets you giddy.
Oh yah, "follow" is kinda important as well. Get off your butt and go out there and follow your bliss!
(Pretty please. Thank you.)
"There is no security in following the call to adventure." ~ Joseph Campbell
"When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to
me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets." ~ James Joyce
