Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path [...] If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.” ― Joseph CampbellSome people seem to know the purpose for which they were born very early in life. Others of us stumble along searching for a long time. The Arthurian legend of Perceval and the Story of Grail can tell us something about how the quest for self-fulfillment begins.
