Who looks inside?

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.  Who looks outside, dreams.  Who looks inside, awakens."  [Carl Jung]

How many times have you told yourself, I just need to put my head down and get through this?  It's as if we spend much of our lives trudging through, desperately waiting for the next thing to arrive.  By continually looking outward and ahead, we remain in a dream state, as we desperately try to insulate ourselves from any discomfort.  But is there a better way?  What if you spent the next five minutes looking inside?  What would your soul whisper to you?  Are you ready to be "awakened"?
