Jung’s Five Pillars of a Good Life

Carl Jung had five pillars of happiness. “Beyond the scientific research that supports this strategy, we also have the evidence of its effectiveness in the example of Jung’s life. He made his list to mark his 85th birthday, which was to be the last one he celebrated. By all accounts, he made progress toward happiness over his life, had a long and devoted marriage, died surrounded by the people he loved, and was satisfied that he had used his abilities in a meaningful way that served others. In this world, that sounds pretty good to me”. Here they are: Jung’s Five Pillars of a Good Life

The Most Successful Fighter Plane of World War II

One of the most crucial aspects in World War II was the employment and performance of newly created weaponry. Military tactics and intelligence services were important, but in the heat of combat, the quality and amount of weaponry were the most important. As a result, the world’s most powerful countries were designing and manufacturing military systems and platforms on an unprecedented scale. Fighter aircraft were among the most formidable vehicles of the war produced. They proved to completely alter the battlefield. Although the fighters had been around for a while, they were nothing like as sophisticated as the revolutionary fighters deployed in the Second World War. Skilled pilots in these new aircraft could pose a significant threat to the whole opposing fleets. They not only changed the course of the war, but also became the legends of the aerial battle. Let’s take a look at the 10 most proficient and successful WWII fighter aircraft.

How Avoidant People Create Relationship Collapse

Don’t let their injury define you

Dr. Les Carter

While it is ideal that relationships would result in mutual regard and meaningful connections, avoidant people are committed to patterns that cause relationships to collapse. (BTW, this is not the same as keeping your distance as a matter of legitimate self-preservation.). Dr. Les Carter describes how avoidant people operate and how you can save yourself from undue heartache as you come to terms with their manipulations.

The avoidant says “I will be in a relationship with you as long as you don’t have any expectations of me.”

Wisdom for Waking Up to Your World

“One of my favorite subjects of contemplation is this question: “Since death is certain, but the time of death is uncertain, what is the most important thing?” You know you will die, but you really don’t know how long you have to wake up from the cocoon of your habitual patterns. You don’t know how much time you have left to fulfill the potential of your precious human birth. Given this, what is the most important thing?

Every day of your life, every morning of your life, you could ask yourself, “As I go into this day, what is the most important thing? What is the best use of this day?” At my age, it’s kind of scary when I go to bed at night and I look back at the day, and it seems like it passed in the snap of a finger. That was a whole day? What did I do with it? Did I move any closer to being more compassionate, loving, and caring — to being fully awake? Is my mind more open? What did I actually do? I feel how little time there is and how important it is how we spend our time.” Source: Pema Chödrön’s Wisdom for Waking Up to Your World | Lion’s Roar

Let Go of the Things that no Longer Serve You

In order to better our life, we need to let go of the things that no longer serve us. When we begin to let go of the things that no longer serve us, it’s like metaphorically cleaning house. When we clean house in our life, we start by letting go of people who no longer add to our quality of life. The majority of our relationships shift in nature and aren’t the same as they began. We may have a close friend that becomes more of an acquaintance and an acquaintance may turn into a close friend. Another aspect of cleaning house it letting go of our old ways of thinking. Old ways of thinking are usually made up of of thoughts that hold us back, limiting thoughts, limiting language, and our unique negative broken record based on family and pass limiting teachings and learned limitations. When we clean house we take a personal intiative to better our life, to let go of the things that no longer add to our quality of life, and offers us the room to bring in to our life what we need to positively push forward and succeed.
