Inspirational Quote
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Andre Gide
Courage… A Depth Psychology Perspective
We must lose sight in order to gain vision. As the Nobel Laureate French author Andre Gide reminds us, we need to move beyond the sight of the shore to discover new oceans ahead. This touches upon the conviction of courage needed to step into unknown territories, explore, problem solve, and move beyond one’s personal delimitation to gain that clarity of vision one seeks.
To realize Self, from the self we present to the world, demands nothing less. Courage, a will to work, a drive to persevere, and willingness to step out of the comfort zone creates the grit needed to realize a vision sought. Faith to find new shores is present, only in direct correlation with our willingness to work towards its realization.
Namaste, my friends. Many blessings on your journey to believe, achieve, and advance confidently in the direction of your dreams.
