IMO Thursday - Follow Your Bliss

I went through a very trying day yesterday considering some possibilities for new projects and in that I realized as clearly as ever that what I am doing now is indeed the path. Doors are opening that I could not predict and the method to my success seems to be the methods that I currently employ and continue to develop.

So, for IMO Thursday today I will share the opinions of my self-appointed mentor Joseph Campbell whose wisdom guides my steps into the great abyss.

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave.

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.

One way or another, we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life, and dedicate ourselves to that.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us

 The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are"
