Carl Jung Said The Self You Built Isn’t the One You Must Keep: The Letter I Wish I’d Read Sooner

What if everything you thought about yourself was never meant to last?
We spend our early years building a self that fits the world-chasing success, proving our worth, constructing an identity we believe will hold. But what if that self was never meant to be permanent?
Carl Jung believed that midlife isn’t a crisis-it’s an initiation. The person you created to survive the first half of life isn’t the person you were meant to stay. And if you resist that transformation, you will suffer-not because you are broken, but because you are holding on to something you were meant to outgrow.
This is the letter I wish I had read when I was younger-a message from my older self, shaped by the wisdom of six thinkers who saw what most people never realize.
In this video, I bring together the life-changing insights of:
📖 Carl Jung - Why the self you built is not the self you must keep.
📖 Friedrich Nietzsche - Why true growth requires destruction-and why you must burn the old self to rise again.
📖 Viktor Frankl - Why happiness isn’t found-it’s created through meaning.
📖 Alan Watts - Why the biggest lie we believe is that life is a journey-when it’s really a dance.
📖 Carl Rogers - Why real change comes not from fixing yourself, but from finally accepting who you are.
📖 Seneca - Why time isn’t something we lose-it’s something we waste.
This isn’t just about change. It’s about becoming.
If you’ve ever felt lost, restless, or like something inside you is shifting but you don’t know why-this video will challenge everything you thought you knew about who you are and what comes next.
