Joseph Campbell Quotes

NOT I - NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself.

If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.

The choice you make, makes you.

You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.

Your choices make you whoever you turn out to be.

So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.

How do you expect to arrive at the end of your own journey if you take the road to another man's city?

Life is a movie, pick your own role, Climb your own ladder or you dig your own hole.

The most important story we'll ever write in life is our own-not with ink, but with our daily choices.

Because it's our choices that makes us who we are.

We all create the person we become by our choices as we go through life. In a real sense, by the time we are adults, we are the sum total of the choices we have made.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

You only live once. Trying to do the right thing for other people often doesn't work out, and you have to follow your own path in order to make things work out best for everyone.

Ultimately, you have to pursue your own path, not someone's idea of the right path. You need to stay on your path.

One of the most important things that I have learned in my 57 years is that life is all about choices. On every journey you take, you face choices. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. And it is those decisions that shape our lives.

Where one person shapes their life by precept and example, there are a thousand who have shaped it by impulse and circumstances.

Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.

My life and career is my own adventure.

In a very slow way, I found my path. Even now, I think, 'If I can't do it my way, I'd rather not do it.'

You decide the things that ultimately you do. You have choices in this world, and that's how I live.

You are where you are today because you have chosen to be there.

I have a unique history. There's no way to ever separate what your life would have been like if you had taken a different path. You have to embrace what is yours, and if you don't like it, you have to decide to change it.

I believe that you are not stuck with a pre-destiny. I believe that there is ways to see all these things that are laid down in front of you and where you belong and to smack yourself in the face when you realize that you've strayed off your path and get back to where your path is.

From now on, I'll connect the dots my own way.
