Quotes by Phil Cousineau (?)

“Inspiration comes and goes, creativity is the result of practice.”
― Phil Cousineau

tags: creativity, inspirational, writing

16 likes

“The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths; the image of creative rebirth; the eternal cycle of change within us; the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know. The hero journey is a symbol that binds, in the original sense of the word, two distant ideas, the spiritual quest of the ancients with the modern search for identity, always the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find.”
