Jung proposed in "Psychological Types" that human character is not affected by heredity, is not limited by gender, nor is it cultivated by the living environment, but depends on the psychological tendencies of the individual. He points everything to ourselves and distills a sentence: We are all our own Creators.
As you see on the Internet: the world is not what you see, but what you think in your heart. To paraphrase it, it is also true: you originally had all kinds of possibilities, but eventually you lived as if you were obsessed with it in your heart. The so-called phase is born from the heart, and everything is related to your true psychology!

Read good books and reach a reconciliation with yourself
In fact, I have always felt that I have a psychological problem, for a while I was particularly discouraged about life, I couldn't put down the past, and there were many conjectures of making up a knife to my heart or wiping a knife on my neck. Because there are too many unfair things to encounter, and because I regret many of my own wrong decisions, I can't go through the obsession of not continuing to repeat the college entrance examination, and every night I dream of taking the college entrance examination, checking the score and volunteering, and then I can't find the admission results... And all that. A few years ago, I read Zhang Defen's "Meet the Unknown Self", and slowly wanted to open up, and slowly reconciled with myself. I tried to accept all my flaws, fully recognized myself, stopped pushing myself, and let go of a lot of self-blame.
Later, I began to contact psychology books and read some mindfulness books. This year, I encountered an old heart disease, the adult undergraduate degree photo certification did not pass, and this kind of moth appeared four years after graduation. When many hearts are on their minds and are worried about nowhere to go, they meet a book friend on Douban and talk about meditation and meditation together. So I started meditating every day. When you close your eyes and feel your breath, let your brain empty as you breathe, and feel your body parts with the flow of air, you experience an unconscious "miracle." When you feel that life is fleeting, you should feel your soul and body well. Say to yourself in your heart, "Before, it made you hard; in the future, I will take good care of you." "Since then, the mentality has really changed. If I can do many things, I will try to do them; if I can't do them, I will no longer force or even complain. I gladly accept what I can get, I can't get it, I will give it to fate, I feel that it is not my fault to miss it, maybe I will have better it. "It's yours that is yours in the end, it doesn't mean anything if it's not your demands" "God closes a door and opens a window for you"... And so on, kind of like brainwashing.
After all, people's psychology is still extremely complex and profound. I still need to keep learning and learning. Fortunately, I met Jung's Psychological Genre.

Exposure to different philosophical systems
Nietzsche and Socrates were famous philosophers in history.
Nietzsche attacked Socrates in The Birth of Tragedy against the rationalists. For the Dionysian spiritual had no effect on the rationalists. Two aesthetic utopias are brought here: the spirit of Dionysus and the spirit of revelry. The affirmation of life and the respect of physical factors by the spirit of Dionysus and the spirit of revelry have made great contributions to improving the subject status of human beings. These are blind spots that the extreme rationalists cannot recognize.
Nietzsche's philosophical system must be mentioned here.
Dionysian spirit is a core concept of Nietzsche's philosophical system, it is an irrational impulse, affirm life, affirm real life, advocate the liberation of human nature, oppose asceticism, under the influence of the Dionysian spirit, people can release their lives, in order to have better creation, this "Dionysian spirit" also has a very important position in traditional Chinese culture.
Schiller focused on how to restore the ancient worldview and ancient way of life. His quest for "salvation from sin" is precisely one of the goals of the Christian doctrine of salvation. And the apostate Julian once said, "The human mind is 'full of fierce struggles.'" This suggests the inner rift of the late antiquity, manifested as an unprecedented disorder and confusion in the human mind and spirit.
Problem solving is not the purpose of Christianity, in fact it offers a broken freedom to separate valuable functions from other functions.
Through the analysis of human nature, Schiller proposed the "three impulses"—the perceptual impulse; the formal impulse (rational impulse); and the game impulse. Schiller said that the perceptual impulse makes man "accept matter" and "becomes matter", and that only through the perceptual impulse, he demands material satisfaction, can he become a living and real person, not an abstract person. The perceptual impulse makes man accept external matter out of internal material demands, and becomes materially integrated with the world, "as long as he feels, desires, and actions by the action of desire alone, he is merely the world."
When everything that is dazzling and tangible dims, certain elements of the soul will reveal light.
"Externalize everything that is inside.". In Schiller's view, perceptual impulses and formal impulses: one to accept, one to give; one from the outside to the inside, one from the inside to the outside; one demands change, one demands unity. Therefore, they are opposites.
The only way to reconcile the opposite in the path of nature (nature) is to know it and to be in harmony with it, not to separate or redeem inferior functions. But Schiller felt that the acceptance of inferior functions might lead to an "instinctive but very blind confrontation." If the perfection of the personality is set as the goal, those functions that are not recognized are essential. As long as the goals of culture are not aligned with the ideal of individual perfection, these functions can only be degraded and suppressed to some extent. Consciously embracing these repressed functions amounts to setting off a civil war. Or it is equivalent to lifting many of the previous inhibitions on all opposites, so that the "independence of character" immediately does not exist.
On the road to understanding the world, understanding human beings, and understanding psychology, we have a lot of knowledge to learn. From the philosophical ideas and psychological trees of the predecessors, we can obtain huge intellectual energy and take fewer detours.
