Lesson from the shadow

Starting with my 50 days challenge of total introspection.
Today a perspective from the “Shadow”, to better understand the process, a quote from Carl young on the “Shadow”
“Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected and is liable to burst forth suddenly in a moment of unawareness. At all events, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.”
Staring at the Shadow I learn much about me. Evaluating my own attitude by reflection or has Carl Young puts it “Projection” projecting into others my own short coming, and that is I cannot see in others what I don’t have within me. Thus enabling me to adjust my attitude in comparison.
Everything I do from the time I get up to the time I go to bed and in between I love everything about it. All that I do is destined to shape and polish me to be the best that I can be.
Sharing on my blog allow me to keep things going. Please comment it can be very helpful.
