“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes”
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
To truly understand what you really want and who you are, you need to reflect on your own feelings and thoughts. If you only pay attention to what’s happening around you or what others are doing, you will stay in a state of fantasy or daydreaming. On the other hand, by looking within yourself, you gain true awareness and insight. Think about an artist who creates meaningful paintings. If they only copy what others have done, their work lacks true expression. But, when they paint from their own experiences and feelings, their artwork becomes more powerful and genuine. Similarly, in life, when you understand your own desires and values, you can make decisions that truly reflect who you are. Reflecting inward helps you see what makes you unique and what your true goals are, leading to a more fulfilling life.
