Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure. There is no security in following the call to adventure. Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.

More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Make your god transparent to the transcendent, and it doesn't matter what his name is.
Joseph Campbell
The passage of the mythological hero may be over ground, incidentally fundamentally it is inward--into depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified, to be made available for the transfiguration of the world.
Joseph Campbell
You have been thinking one way. Now you have to think a different way.
Joseph Campbell
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss you will find a path laid out before you that has been waiting for you all along and you will begin to live the life you ought to be living.
Joseph Campbell
The last act in the biography of the hero is that of the death or departure.
Joseph Campbell
Sin always finds it's root in our own selfish desires and self-gratification.
Joseph Campbell
Our true reality is in our identity and unity with all life.
Joseph Campbell
There's something inside you that knows when you're in the center, that knows when you're on the beam or off the beam. And if you get off the beam to earn money, you've lost your life. And if you stay in the center and don't get any money, you still have your bliss.
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
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
Regrets are illuminations come too late.
Joseph Campbell
Every myth is psychologically symbolic. Its narratives and images are to be read, therefore, not literally, but as metaphors.
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
The role of the artist I now understood as that of revealing through the world-surfaces the implicit forms of the soul, and the great agent to assist the artist was the myth.
Joseph Campbell
Questing... is not an ego trip it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment your gift to the world, which is yourself.
Joseph Campbell
Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself... The problem is not to blame or explain but to handle the life that arises... If you say no to a single factor in your life, you have unraveled the whole thing... The demon that you swallow gives you its power, and the greater life's pain, the greater life's reply.
Joseph Campbell
Your adventure has to be coming out of your own interior. If you are ready for it then doors will open where there were no doors before, and where there would not be doors for anyone else. And you must have courage. It's the call to adventure, which means there is no security, no rules.
Joseph Campbell
Anything you do has a still point. When you are in that still point, you can perform maximally.
Joseph Campbell
Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that's what is threatening the world at this minute.
Joseph Campbell
