I agree with Jung. I think our base personality stays somewhat the same but our manifisation can change quite dramitically.
I know I'll enjoy my book. I just don't expext anyone else to. But if I did everything or well anything for someone else to enjoy I'd never get anything done. My hobbies are for my own personal pleasure, they give me satisfaction and a sence of accoplesment, they teach me something about myself, and they help me retain my focus in whatever I choose to do. I love my bonsai becasue it forces me to be patient, and to look at structure diffrently than I used to. It is slowly teaching me skills that I al already finding quiet useful. I write becasue it exercises my soul, I paint becasue I have to. I create because I have to, but more than that becasue I like to. I would prefer for people to enjoy the fruits of my labor the way i do, but if you don't well I can't control how you feel.
I may not be content with my life right now, but the things I'm not content with are things I have little control over. Which is partially why I'm not content with them. But within myself, I'm happy. I like who I am but I see room for improvement. Everyday is another chance to become the person I want to be. I am much like the bonsai I dote on.
