Everything good is costly, and the development of personality is one of the most costly of all things. it is a matter of saying yes to oneself, of taking oneself as the most serious of tasks, of being conscious of everything one does, and keeping it constantly before one's eyes in all its dubious aspects.

More From Carl Jung

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

Knock! knock! who's there? me! me who? that's right? what's right? meehoo! that's what i want to know! what's what you want to know? me who? yes, exactly! exactly what? yes, i have exactlywatt on a chain! exactly what on a chain? yes! yes what? no, exactlywatt! that's what i want to know! i told you-exactlywatt! exactly what? yes! yes what? yes it's with me. what's with you? exactlywatt-that's what with me. me who? yes! go away! knock knock...

I love saying 'yes' and i love saying 'please.' saying 'yes' doesn't mean i don't know how to say no, and saying 'please' doesn't mean i am waiting for permission. 'yes please' sounds powerful and concise. it's a response and a request. it is not about being a good girl; it is about being a real woman.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. to become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. this act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge, and it therefore, as a rule, meets with considerable resistance. indeed, self-knowledge as a psychotherapuetic measure frequently requires much painstaking work extending over a long period of time.

Studying the buddha way is studying oneself. studying oneself is forgetting oneself. forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. no trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.

There are two synergistic approaches for increasing productivity that are inversions of each other: 1. limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (80/20). 2. shorten work time to limit tasks to the important (parkinson's law). the best solution is to use both together: identify the few critical tasks that contribute most to income and schedule them with very short and clear deadlines.

Similar Quotes

The care of every man's soul belongs to himself. but what if he neglect the care of it? well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. god himself will not save men against their wills.

I've never killed anybody... but i've definitely thought about it. but that's how we are. that's what happens when you put people together and put them into societies and cultures and have laws and the idea of justice.

Everything we know is only some kind of approximation, because we know that we do not know all the laws yet. therefore, things must be learned only to be unlearned again or, more likely, to be corrected.

Please be peaceful. we believe in law and order. we are not advocating violence, i want you to love your enemies... for what we are doing is right, what we are doing is just -- and god is with us.
