Self-Esteem Step 2: Follow Your Passions

Joseph Campbell was a brilliant mythologist and teacher at Sarah Lawrence College. My husband, Peter, introduced me to Campbell’s work, and I was immediately fascinated. Campbell spent his life researching ancient civilizations, such as those of the Mayans and Egyptians, to study their belief systems. He also learned a great deal from writers of literature such as James Joyce and Shakespeare. Something he found common to all these cultures was the idea of the “hero’s journey.” Campbell’s famous advice regarding a successful hero’s journey was to “follow your bliss.”

We are all on a hero’s journey. You are—as were the great figures in religion (think Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad), in pop art (think Superman), and in popular cartoons (think Disney’s Mulan, one of my favorite female characters of all time).

If your self-esteem is strong, you will move toward doing the things that make you happy. This isn’t selfish; it is following your bliss.
