Joseph Campbell
You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or 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
You have been thinking one way. Now you have to think a different way.
Joseph Campbell
