WWJD?
What Would Jung Do?
When one of his patients would come see him and say, “I got a raise!” or “I got a promotion!” Carl Jung would say, tsk, not good, not good at all. If they said, “I got laid off,” he would say, “Now, we’re getting somewhere.” Jung believed we cannot make progress, work on the soul, until we were faced with a crossroads or a meaningful event to shake us up and make us grow.
So for all of you out there dreading leaving your job or getting laid off or fired or whatever the euphemism is for that nowadays, even though we are in a recession, the fact is that forward is the way to go.
And then failure is not an option.
