“Where your fear is, there is your task” – C.G. Jung

“Where your fear is, there is your task” – C.G. Jung

This quote reminds me of so many times I felt weak, and not up to the challenges life was throwing at me. For a long time, I ran away from my own Soul and tried to pursue paths that weren’t my own.

Common paths that society tells you it’s the best for you, paths that your parents try to put you on so they can protect you, paths that you see people you admire or envy treading.

And you might feel their path is better than yours, and it’s only when you start to walk for yourself that you realize how lost they are.

Life will propose to you this question: are you willing to face your fears and gain your life or will you disown your soul?

If you choose to face your fears you will have to fight for your life, and pursue a journey filled with obstacles, however, every cell of your being will feel alive.

If you choose to disown your soul, well, then you’re already dead.

You might be asking yourself “how can I recognize my own path?” That’s a question only you can answer, but again… what are you afraid of? In facing this fear you might take your first step.

It’s ok to feel lost, for that’s the only way you can truly find your authentic path.

“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That’s why it’s your path.” Joseph Campbell
