"You can't make an omelet without breaking the eggs."

~ Joseph Campbell, 20th Century Philosopher & Mythology Expert from A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living

I love that.

Why do we have this silly notion that we can transform our lives without some challenges? Makes NO sense.

You break any eggs lately?

More Thoughts:

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

"The hoarder, the one in us that wants to keep, to hold on, must be killed."
