“You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path [...] If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.” 

― Joseph Campbell

Some people seem to know the purpose for which they were born very early in life. Others of us stumble along searching for a long time. The Arthurian legend of Perceval and the Story of Grail can tell us something about how the quest for self-fulfillment begins. 

Mythologist Joseph Campbell loved these stories and found a touchstone or two in them that shaped his life. Maybe you will too.

 "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -- Helen Keller

(The Campbell quote above is from "The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life & Work").
