Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud were contemporaries of each other, but the ego-maniacal Freud's ruthless self-promotion won him a seemingly greater place in history. Today most people agree that Jung's theories have far more credence and influence than anything Freud ever wrote.
"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside awakes."
-Carl Jung
There's a lot to see in the outside world, but nothing more than what is inside you already. You can look out at what could be, what you want, what you think you need; but also know that everything you truly need is inside you. Realize that truth resides in the self of all people and to seek it will result in understanding and growth. For me this also ties in with that old saying, 'be careful what you wish for you just might get it'. If you spend too much time wishing for something different you have less time to explore what you do have. Trust your inner self, trust your instinct and your intuition.
