Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I am learning to be true to myself and live a path with heart.
The following is quoted from a book by Kenneth Smith:
People typically derive meaning in their lives from group values rather than from within. Jung tells us that this makes individuation impossible, as the self is never developed, let alone expressed and lived.
For individual imagination to become alive and functional, we need to be able to step away from the group. At the same time we are social creatures who derive value from participation with the group.
The balance is to seek individuation while keeping an eye on what you can offer others. In this way, you learn to be yourself while being part of the group, which is a measure of self-actualization.
Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:
