"Le dragon ultime est en vous"
— Joseph Campbell
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has their own fears and challenges inside themselves. These inner obstacles can sometimes be tougher than any challenge from the outside world. Think about it like this: if you are afraid of public speaking, it’s not the audience that's the problem, but your own fear. Just like in fairy tales where heroes fight dragons, overcoming personal fears is like defeating your own dragon. For example, if someone is very shy and anxious, their dragon is their own insecurity. To improve, they need to build confidence and push themselves out of their comfort zone. So, the best way to grow and succeed is to face and conquer these inner battles.
