I did not have this certainty, it had me.

This gave me an inner security.

When I travel, I tend to listen to and read different material. More fiction, more spiritual, less “practical” and, I don’t know, hands-on.

“…instead of it being a horizontal line, it’s a vertical line. … that everything is already taken care of for us, that everything is already happening at once.”

— Wayne Dyer

I really don’t know much about Karl Jung except that he’s one serious dude.

From the time I was, oh, I don’t know, maybe in high school? Maybe it wasn’t until the first few years of university,

“From the beginning, I had a sense of destiny as though my life was assigned to me by fate and had to be fulfilled. This gave me an inner security and though I could never prove it to myself it proved itself to me. I did not have this certainty, it had me.”

Karl Jung

Although on the surface, I’ve felt lost often and without much reason. But deeper down, I “just knew.”

I might joke that, sure, I “just knew” but what did I know? I just felt comfortable on my path as if there were a greater power that had designed it and it was my task to just follow it along.

I don’t mean fate and whether or not we have a say in our path, but that it’s not a “fight” or a “battle” and certainly not a “war.”

But it’s a game. Maybe like Chutes and Ladders. Or even Monopoly. Play along, follow some rules, roll the dice.

But play the game.
