32. “When we consider the infinite variety of dreams, it is difficult to conceive that there could ever be a method or a technical procedure which would lead to an infallible result. It is, indeed, a good thing that no valid method exists for otherwise the meaning of the dream would be limited in advance and would lose precisely that virtue which makes dreams so valuable for therapeutic purposes – their ability to offer new points of view.” – Carl Jung
33. “The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.” – Carl Jung

I have to admit Joel that I didn’t actually know who Carl Jung was. None the less I love number three. I have always believed that your pain becomes your success. People that always avoid pain or never experience anything difficult typically don’t live a highly successful life. Thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, always avoid obstacles and you’ll never learn how to get through them. One of my greatest struggle brought me to the realization I have to change my life, and all the ‘bad’ things turned out to be a good ones.
I actually started to read Jung right about during those hard times. His autobiography is great read.

Arleigh Joe Carpenter, haha I love this! You know, sometimes that feels exactly like this. You just need adjust yourself and care less what other people say/think of you and stick your own way. Hardest thing is realization you will never be alone as Universe will always send someone to you, as your energy level will atract like-minded people. Thank you for reply!
