This quote from the Dalai Lama relates to my personality because I live a life in which I am always thinking about other people. I am characterized by being empathetic. This quote says that real happiness comes from the way we act. When I put other people's problems and situations before my own, I feel pleased. Helping people is my ultimate source of happiness; nothing feels the same. Sometimes my personality can be harsh, but inside, I am a caring person who is always willing to give a helping hand. I cannot imagine myself having a different source of happiness. Even career I have chosen brings together my two greatest passions: biology and helping people.
I believe that this aphorism relates to Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey because a hero is always willing to sacrifice himself for other people. Heros are characterized by their ability to put other peoples need before theirs. This is seen clearly in some but not so clearly in others. In all of the heroic stories, the hero is then recognized because of their actions. They themselves feel that they have been rewarded indirectly. This is exactly what the aphorism says because heroes obtain their happiness from their actions.
