Look Inside and Awaken

“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.  Who looks outside, dreams.  Who looks inside, awakens.” –Carl Jung

It is easy to measure ourselves by what we possess and what status we hold.  However, these things do not allow us to grow.  Looking inside ourselves, knowing our flaws and our strengths, accepting our challenges and acknowledging our growth on a daily basis allows us to thrive.  By looking inside, we truly awaken.

When have I measured myself by my possessions and status?  In what ways has this held me back in personal growth?  What gifts await me if I look inside myself?
