Carl Jung Quotes

The best things happen when you're not overthinking it.

I am learning that in life it is OK to travel in darkness, not knowing what your next move is.

You can't think about what you're going to do. It just gets in the way. You have to be just available for life, otherwise you're not bringing anything to the party. So I don't lie awake thinking about what I'm going to do workwise. There's just too much going on.

I literally have no idea what's to come. I try to just stay in the moment.

Life flies by, and it's easy to get lost in the blur. In adolescence, it's 'How do I fit in?' In your 20s, it's 'What do I want to do?' In your 30s, 'Is this what I'm meant to do?' I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what's ahead but rather sitting in the grey area - being OK with where you are.

You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I'm going to be my best right now. That's what faith is all about.

I don't get into these long-winded heavy discussions about character - do we do this or that or what. At the end of the day, what you gotta do is just go out there and do it.

The best way to find out whether you're on the right path? Stop looking at the path.

I try to avoid long-range plans and visions - that way I can more easily deal with anything new that comes up.

I guess I'm living in the present more than the past.

Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance.

Everybody has a different journey. Everybody has a different path, and you don't really know what to expect. All you know is to just keep plugging away, and you hope something will come through and something will happen.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

Spirituality can release blocks, lead you to ideas, and make your life artful. Sometimes when we pray for guidance, we're guided in unexpected directions. We may want a lofty answer and we get the intuition to clean our bedroom. It can seem so humble and picky and that you don't necessarily think of it spiritual guidance.

I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

There are so many surprises in my life; I don't take anything for granted. I enjoy every experience that comes; I don't think too far ahead.

Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.

I am more interested in experiencing life than in analyzing it.

Learning how to relive again on life's terms sure doesn't do much for your confidence. You have to kind of walk in faith that the next step is going to be just a little bit better than the last step.

I stopped thinking; I just go out, and everything is in the moment. I just stop thinking and start moving - you just gotta be you.

I take it season by season. I don't like looking too far ahead, because you never know what can happen.

My life has always gone step by step.

The reality is there is only each present moment: You are called to give a talk. You get out of a building and into a car. You look out of the window. You arrive at the venue. You sit in the chair; you wait; you step out onto the stage. Every movement is simple. There is only that.

My biggest life lesson is that the past is the past. I do my best not to bring history into my present. It ain't ever easy, but it usually creates more opportunity for joyful experiences.
