Recently Ronni's discussion about Jung's seven tasks of aging had me thinking. As I wrote about my socialist roots, I identified with one of the stages: self-confrontation and the discovery of hidden aspects, good and bad.
I was always under the impression that I was weak and afraid, everybody's shadow, always making decisions to please people, and believing what others thought about me as reality. Now I begin to realize and understand that, in fact, I was strong, particularly in my resolve to reach for people, ideas, or organizations that I intuitively felt were good for me.

Where on earth did this strength come from?
