“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” -Joseph Campbell
“…Where you stumble, there lies the treasure.” How could that be? We all have our own weaknesses. We all stumble at different times and places, but how could there be treasure where we stumble? Is the treasure a chance to learn? Is it a chance to be creative and find a way to flip your weakness into something you can use to propel yourself forward? Or is it a treasure because you are now more experienced than before you stumbled?
I’d love to read this in context to better understand what he’s saying here.
What do you think he’s saying here?
