Move along ‘personality’ tests! You are all over the online social platforms, and I have enjoyed learning at random what you believe is my ideal job, what town matches my essence, what is my spirit animal or who I was in a previous life. I may try some of you again in the future for you are entertaining but, nothing beats the power of words to make one grow!
A well thought quote resonates in you, triggers reflections and/or emotions and can lead to a deep introspection. Some words turn your life over. Recently, I rediscovered Carl Jung. Golly, this man says it well! Here are some of his gems. There are so many more.
You, myself and I.
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
“If you are a gifted person, it doesn’t mean that you gained something. It means you have something to give back.”
“Don’t hold on to someone who’s leaving, otherwise you won’t meet the one who’s coming.”
“Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”
Inside the shell.
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
“Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.”
“Depression is like a woman in black. If she turns up, don’t shoo her away. Invite her in, offer her a seat, treat her like a guest and listen to what she wants to say.”
Switch the light on.
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
“Your perception will become clear only when you can look into your soul.”
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.”
“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.”
“A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.”
Thank you for reading,
Yours, Virginie.
