Thought

Wholeness of the personality is achieved when the main pairs of opposites are relatively differentiated, that is, when both parts of the total psyche, consciousness and the unconscious, are linked together in a living relation. But the dynamic gradient, the flow of psychic life, is not endangered, for the unconscious can never be made wholly conscious and always has the greater store of energy. The wholeness is always relative and gives us something to work on as long as we live.

'Personality, as the complete realisation of our whole being, is an unattainable ideal. But unattainability is no argument against the ideal, for ideals are only signposts, never the goal'.

– Jolande Jacobi, The Psychology of C. G. Jung

Quote

Malcolm-Jamal Warner on gratitude: 

“If you just take a minute to stop, I guarantee you can find at least one reason to smile. If for some reason you can’t find a reason to smile, then that’s probably the best time to be the reason for somebody else’s smile.”

Intention of the Day 

My intention today is to find joy in the ordinary and gratitude in the unexpected.

What’s your intention today? 

Happy Monday,
