Joseph Campbell

“Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”

🌀 Now consider one more thought from Wesley Yang…

“If you became your best self, would it be enough?”

🌀 The need to prove who you are to others disappears once you know who you are. Life begins once you accept who you are and realize you are enough.
