The Cave

Friday, June 13
There’s a quote you’ve probably heard before:
“The cave you fear to enter contains the treasure you seek.” - Joseph Campbell
It’s powerful because it’s true.
You fear the conversation but that’s where clarity lives.
You fear launching the thing but that’s where purpose lives.
You fear the truth but that’s where freedom lives.
The cave is different for everyone but the pattern is the same.
Avoiding the cave means staying stuck.
Entering it means stepping into growth, wisdom, strength, potential.
Most people stand outside the cave, waiting for the fear to go away.
But courage doesn’t mean no fear, it means go anyway.
Step into your cave. Become who you were meant to be.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
