Joseph Campbell (March 26, 1904- October 30, 1987) was an American professor, writer, and orator best known for his work in the fields of comparative mythology and comparative religion.
My general formula for my students is “Follow your bliss.” Find where it is, and don’t be afraid to follow it.
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
