We are having experiences all the time which may on occasion render some sense of this, a little intuition of where your bliss is. Grab it. No one can tell you what it is going to be. You have to learn to recognize your own depth.

More quotes by Joseph Campbell
The realms of the gods and demons - heaven, purgatory, hell - are of the substance of dreams. Myth, in this view, is the dream of the world.
Joseph Campbell
There's nothing you can do that's more important than being fulfilled. You become a sign, you become a signal, transparent to transcendence in this way, you will find, live, and become a realization of your own personal myth.
Joseph Campbell
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Joseph Campbell
The world is full of people who have stopped listening to themselves.
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
Life is a guy trying to play a violin solo in public, while learning the music and his instrument at the same time.
Joseph Campbell
One of our problems today is that we are not well acquainted with the literature of the spirit. We re interested in the news of the day and the problems of the hour.
Joseph Campbell
The key to the Grail is compassion, 'suffering with,' feeling another's sorrow as if it were your own. The one who finds the dynamo of compassion is the one who's found the Grail.
Joseph Campbell
Where you stumble, there lies your treasure. The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for. The damned thing in the cave that was so dreaded has become the center.
Joseph Campbell
Every hero must have the courage to be alone, to take the journey for himself.
Joseph Campbell
A woman is a vehicle of life. Life has overtaken her. Woman is what it is all about-the giving of birth and the giving of nourishment.
Joseph Campbell
We're all seeking...the rapture of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
Perfection isn't human. Human beings are not perfect. What evokes our love--and I mean love, not lust--is the imperfection of the human being. So, when the imperfection of the real person peaks through, say, 'This is a challenge to my compassion.' Then make a try, and something might begin to get going.
Joseph Campbell
When an idea is important to a person or culture it will find its way into imagery.
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
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell
An old Apache storyteller reminds us
Joseph Campbell
We are kept out of the Garden by our own fear and desire in relation to what we think to be the goods of our life.
Joseph Campbell
The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
Joseph Campbell
Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance regrets are illuminations come too late.
