"私たちは自分たちが計画した人生を手放し、私たちを待っている人生を受け入れる覚悟をしなければなりません"
— Joseph Campbell
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you planned a picnic, but it suddenly starts to rain. At first, you might feel disappointed because you can't enjoy the day outside as you wanted. However, if you decide to let go of that plan and stay open to other possibilities, you might find an unexpected joy in having a cozy indoor movie day or playing games with friends. Similarly, in life, we often have ideas about how things should go, like choosing a particular job, living in a specific city, or being with certain people. But sometimes life offers us different opportunities that we didn't expect. If we're too fixed on our plans, we might miss out on these new and possibly better paths. By being open-minded and flexible, we allow ourselves to discover and embrace new experiences that could lead to happiness and fulfillment.
