Some years ago a friend gave me a copy of “Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion.” Campbell’s works such as The Hero With a Thousand Faces and The Power of Myth among other have influenced thought. I will be using quotes from Reflections on the Art of Living as the basis for a series of upcoming posts.
“The warrior’s approach is to say ‘yes’ to life: ‘yea’ to it all.” p. 17
Note: We have no choice where life is concerned; each of us will get our share of the good and bad. It doesn’t always come out even. Some will get a heaping scoop of good and others a heaping scoop of bad, and most will fall between the two extremes. Life isn’t fair, but it’s the only life we have. When we give our resounding,”YES” to life we dare to live life with courage and hope. We dare to say yes to every experience we encounter. Each experience makes us into the person we find ourselves to be today. The experiences we will encounter will continue to shape us. How it shapes us is up to us and the attitude we take toward each experience.
