'Carl Jung - Life Begins When You Find Yourself'

Carl Jung believed that life truly begins when we find ourselves. For him, the first decades of life are a preparation, a phase of learning and building identities influenced by external expectations. However, it is in middle age, especially after 40, that the opportunity for a profound awakening arises: the process of individuation.

Individuation means connecting with your most authentic purpose, facing fears, limiting beliefs and the shadow — the repressed aspects of our being. Jung reminds us that, although aging is seen as a decline, it can mark the beginning of a new phase, rich in meaning.

Studies, such as the one carried out by the Harvard Study of Adult Development, show that people who seek an intrinsic purpose live more fully and satisfied lives. Jung challenges us to look within, embrace who we really are and live beyond imposed standards. Life is not a final destination, but a transformative journey that brings us closer to our true selves. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to MY DARKNESS — a space where philosophy becomes a guiding light through the chaos of modern life. In this shadowed world, we revisit the timeless wisdom of great thinkers like Socrates, Nietzsche, Kant, and Sartre to ask the questions that matter: What is truth? What is purpose? Who are we, really?

This channel invites you on a journey of reflection and self-discovery. Through the lens of philosophy, we explore the depths of human existence, confronting uncertainty with reason, curiosity, and courage. Whether you're lost, seeking meaning, or simply drawn to life's deeper questions, you're not alone.

Join us as we walk through the darkness together — not to escape it, but to find the light within it.

The danger of this thinking is that some people go around in circles asking “who am I?” There is no answer to this question imo. I think a better question is what do I value most and how can I align with those values.
