In tape one, Campbell talks about finding your inner bliss and acting on it. Right now I think that my inner bliss would be somewhere along the lines of dropping out of school, and back-packing through Europe with a digital camera and a laptop. But, if I were to do that, I would predict I would have a horrible time because I would spend my time looking for a job, a place to live, food to eat, and all that stuff. Everyone has dreams and desires. Everyone wishes about spending lazy days by the beach, but that’s not reality. If everyone were to follow their inner bliss all day every day, no one would be working, no one would be getting the jobs done that hold the world together. The world would degrade to a chaotic state. And then in that case, no one would really be happy at all. I guess people have an unspoken obligation to be contributing members of society so that we may not all may achieve our inner bliss, but most everyone has the oppurtunity to lead satisfying life. Its hard to do most jobs today without a highschool education. That level of education is needed so that when your dreams change, you have the ability to pursue a new dream. If you drop out of high-school to become a mechanic, and then when your thirty decide “Hey I don’t want to fix cars anymore, I want to have a family, a job to support them, and maybe even become a paralegal like I’ve been talking about for so long,” you either have to live with the life you have, or waste a lot of time getting yourself on the track to where you want to be. Finding your bliss may be something like fixing cars now, but its quite possible that can change. Campbell doesn’t say when in your life you should start considering following your inner bliss. Three years ago I though I wanted to go to college and play division one lacrosse. When I wanted to play lacrosse, I joined the team, I practiced hard, I watched a lot of tapes, and I worked out a lot. But I never stopped doing my homework, I never stopped going to school. Because I knew if my plan were to change, I’d be in screwed. Now I’m about to enlist in the military as a cryptological linguist, and im glad that I'm still in school and I still have the oppurtunity to do so. I don’t know if still going to want to be a cryptological linguist a few yearsfrom now, but I currently believe that my future has a place for linguistics. So I’m going to go into the military, and get my training, my education, and my money. It doesn’t matter if I change my mind in a year or two from now about what I want to do for the rest of my life, because the military is just a stepping stone.
