Joseph Campbell
Your ego is your embodiment and your self is your potentiality and that's what you listen to when you listen for the voice of inspiration and the voice of 'What am I here for? What can I possibly make of myself?'
Joseph Campbell
When you are on your path, and it is truly your path, doors will open for you where there were no doors for someone else.
Joseph Campbell
