Week 22.2: Finding Joe

I watched the movie “Finding Joe” this week and was reminded of some of my favorite quotes by Joseph Campbell.  They echo and reflect the MKMMA themes we’ve been exploring.  So I’ll share a few in picture form… Which is your favorite and why?

The quote above is one of my favorites at the present time.  I can make my plans and have my definite major purpose, but the “Friendly Universe” still surprises me with things that are better than I could ask or imagine. Eph. 3:20.  What an adventure!

A daily reminder for me to find what brings me joy, to concentrate on what brings me joy, to think about what I want, not what I don’t want.  If I create joy within regardless of the circumstances won’t I experience more joy in the world without?  “My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” Jn 15:11

Even my quirkiness is what makes me unique and when I share this naturally without pretense or fear it connects me with others in wonderful ways.  People value realness and authenticity when we live as “nature’s greatest miracles” that we are.

Could it be that simple?  To find and follow our bliss is the key to life?  I think so!  It’s part of the abundant life.  Jn 10:10

I want to live large and “loud” and give myself to something greater than myself – to love and to serve and to be a light.  I especially like the image of a Lion and the quote above because it reminds me of what Og says, “I am not a sheep, I am a Lion…”
