More From Debbie Ford

In trying to express only those aspects of ourselves that we believe will guarantee us the acceptance of others, we suppress some of our most valuable and interesting features and sentence ourselves to a life of reenacting the same outworn scripts. reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we have relegated to the shadow is the most reliable path to actualizing all of our human potential. once befriended, our shadow becomes a divine map that—when properly read and followed—reconnects us to the life we were meant to live and the people we were meant to be.

I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow, the million moving shapes and cul-de-sacs of shadow. there was shadow in bureau drawers and closets and suitcases, and shadow under houses and trees and stones, and shadow at the back of people's eyes and smiles, and shadow, miles and miles and miles of it, on the night side of the earth.

Theology is like a map. merely learning and thinking about the christian doctrines, if you stop there, is less real and less exciting than the sort of thing my friend got in the desert. doctrines are not god: they are only a kind of map. but that map is based on the experience of hundreds of people who really were in touch with god--experiences compared with which many thrills of pious feelings you and i are likely to get on our own are very elementary and very confused. and secondly, if you want to get any further you must use the map.

Jung first gave us the term ‘shadow’ to refer to those parts of our personality that have been rejected out of fear, ignorance, shame, or lack of love. his basic notion of the shadow was simple: ‘the shadow is the person you would rather not be.’ he believed that integrating the shadow would have a profound impact, enabling us to rediscover a deeper source of our own spiritual life. ‘to do this,’ jung said, ‘we are obliged to struggle with evil, confront the shadow, to integrate the devil. there is no other choice.’

Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. that shadow career is a metaphor for our real career. its shape is similar, its contours feel tantalizingly the same. but a shadow career entails no real risk. if we fail at a shadow career, the consequences are meaningless to us. are you pursuing a shadow career?

But though a funded debt is not in the first instance, an absolute increase of capital, or an augmentation of real wealth; yet by serving as a new power in the operation of industry, it has within certain bounds a tendency to increase the real wealth of a community, in like manner as money borrowed by a thrifty farmer, to be laid out in the improvement of his farm may, in the end, add to his stock of real riches.

Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. the reality of your own nature should determine the speed. if you become restless, speed up. if you become winded, slow down. you climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. then, when you're no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn't just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. to live only for some future goal is shallow. it's the sides of the mountains which sustain life, not the top.
