When you have to face fear and doubt and loneliness and failure, which you will. What lights you up? What is burning inside of you?” he asked. He warned them about climbing the wrong ladder, quoting Joseph Campbell’s line that there is perhaps nothing worse than reaching the top and discovering you are on the wrong wall. “Your heart, the little voice inside, will tell you what the right wall is, what the right ladder is for you,” he said. “And above all, the deep satisfaction that you are living your own life, yours, because no one can take that away from you.”
