Director of Spiritual Care Jim Andrews
For any of you who have taken the Myers Briggs Type Indicator at one point or another, it is based on the work of a brilliant psychoanalyst by the name of Carl Gustav Jung. He wrote, “ Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves.” What an amazing thought! Think of the possibilities! Instead of avoiding people who get under our skin, we can look at them as our teachers; providing new insights about ourselves which we would not otherwise be able to see.
So, the next time someone annoys you, instead of thinking about what a pain in the neck they are, think about what your feelings might be telling you about yourself. It might just change the whole picture of things!
Have a great week, everyone!
Jim
