Quotes from Joseph Campbell

  • Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.
  • We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
  • Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
  • The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
  • Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.
  • 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're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.

  1. again- i printed these out. i especially like the first one about sacred space...pertenant as i slowly grow into my new place, "sacredness" is on my mind. and the second to last one about flowering of our humanity...yes! and for you and me- the second one...we should tattoo that on our foreheads so we don't forget! love you!
