There are beautiful noble things inside you that motivated your choices.

I once read The Reenchantmemt of Everyday Living. It was like water pouring into a desert. Found the joys of Jungian thinking. Gave me a desire to live again and the ability to be happy in the rain

Carl Jung said when a friend went through a divorce or lost a job, he told them “Come over! We can share a bottle of wine to celebrate your good fortune, because now good things are bound to happen.” Also, “show me where a man’s biggest pain is today, and I’ll show you where his biggest growth will be tomorrow.”

Life is not over. You may be surprised to find something wonderful in a little while.
