Odysseus had his men rope him to the mast so
that he could enjoy the beautiful,
seductive sirens, yet not be able to act on his temptations to join them.
(Waterhouse)
If you do follow your bliss,
you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there
all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living
is the one you are living ...
I say, follow your bliss
and don't be afraid,
and doors will open
where you didn't know they were going to be.
-Joseph Campbell
