Have we all got another life out there somewhere, just waiting for us to live it?

I ask that question in this article because I came across this quote from Joseph Campbell today. Joseph Campbell, (1904 to 1987) was an American writer, who delved into different Religions, and mythologies “We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.” His quote, at its first reading, sounded good to me, but is there really any truth in his statement, or not? In some senses, nothing is ever waiting for you. The life that you currently have is the one planned for you. There is no other, yet you do not see or accept it simply because you do not see or accept the love in your current situation enough to be yet able to learn maximally from it, and so you think that there will be something better waiting out there for you, somewhere. Your life will improve and get better as soon as you grow in that love, that is always embedded within each life experience that you ever go through, and then and only then will you grow, optimally. The real truth is, though, that really, in fact, you are always growing as some part of you always takes all of this in, and it is only your mind and its consciousness linked into love's awareness in you that will, or can bring all of this about. We can perhaps slow down our growth, by our refusing to grow and to learn from love within our mind, usually because our ego has another agenda for us, but ultimately there is no plan waiting for us to take up. We are in that plan right now. The plan that we are in is always bigger than we are, and more encompassing too. It is the total plan for all who we are, from our soul down. Our ego's doings always are being worked on by our higher self to enable this master plan to keep playing itself out in our lives, at the right pace for us to be able to grasp, and to understand it all, from where we are right now, and ultimately from where we are growing to, as we continually reach forwards and upwards, growing in understanding, awareness and consciousness of love's truths, as they live and find fruition within us, in our serving of the Universe, ourselves, God, and all others. Nothing is waiting, all only ever happens now. There is only now. Maybe I am missing something in what he said, but why think that there is anything waiting for us. Just make the best of all that we are right now, and that which we have right now. What do you think?
