Carl Jung Quotes

What is the value of your existence?

What preys on my mind is simply this one question: what am I good for, could I not be of service or use in some way?

I'm going to a special place when I die, but I want to make sure my life is special while I'm here.

Significance is about who we are before it is about what we do.

Do you know the only value life has is what life puts on itself?

Every person has a longing to be significant; to make a contribution; to be a part of something noble and purposeful.

The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose.

We need to encourage young women to find what they love to do. That is a very valuable pursuit - more so than the pursuit of a boyfriend. When you have that core, you bring that core to every aspect of your life.

Things can be really empty in this world, and I don't just mean the music world. It can become a very meaningless place if you don't really understand: 'who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing?' To feel fulfilment and have a deeper level of understanding, personally, that is the most important thing.

I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?

There are some concerns that are universal. Everyone wants to be loved, and everyone wants to feel like they belong somewhere in the world. Everyone wants to do something and feel like they have a sense of purpose. These are just the things that I think about and the things that make their way into my songwriting.

I think there's something about having a purpose in life and a sense of belonging that is more important than money for any human being.

Life means a lot to me.

All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be.

I just want to do something that matters. Or be something that matters. I just want to matter.

Are You Living or Just Existing?" -Tyler Perry The Family That Preys

It takes a well-spent lifetime, and perhaps more, to crystalize in us that for which we exist.

Why do we have to spend our lives striving to be something that we would never want to be, if we only knew what we wanted? Why do we waste our time doing things which... are just the opposite of what we were made for?

Life has value only when it has something valuable as its object.

To be truly happy, you need a clear sense of direction. You need a commitment to something bigger and more important than yourself. You need to feel that your life stands for something, that you are somehow making a valuable contribution to your world.

May I not seem to have lived in vain.

One should not search for an abstract meaning of life ... Life can be made meaningful in a threefold way: first, through what we give to life ... second, by what we take from the world ... third, through the stand we take toward a fate we no longer can change.

If you're right, and nobody really cares what's out there, I wonder whether we're even worth saving.

The question, O me! so sad, recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life? That you are here - that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Everything has a purpose. And that purpose has a story that goes along with it. It just depends on what your passion is.
