@FabrizioRomano Real Madrid's transfers this summer have Mourinho written all over them

[Ahmad Barrieh @AB_007__]

I've always wondered why there were more superstars and giants back in those days! Each player in the video is Ballon d'Or worthy

My theory is that football used to depend on stars to make the difference
with each player bringing their uniqueness and skills to help the team achieve

Now the difference is that teams have become systems, and these systems help players perform in these particular system (e.g., Rodri with Pep).

The shine of each player has become less prominent, with more focus on fitting into the team and being a good part of it.

Teams might have gotten stronger, but at the expense of the player's individuality, creativity, and fun skills

Can we all agree this is Lamine Yamal’s best individual performance last season?
The kid was in a beast mode on that day.

@TouchlineX Its funny how each world cup reminds you of a time of your life and its always linked to special memories

[Ahmad Barrieh @AB_007__]

Everything they do is annoying and lame

from their lack of talents to time wasting to corner kicks that take ages and kill the momentum of games, to their defensive blocks and aggressive tackles, to the way the whole team cries to the referee on every lame foul or ball, along with Arteta and the staff

[Jay Yang @Jayyanginspires]

Some people are just inevitable. You can see it in their eyes, the way they move, the way they talk, the way they explain their goals. Life will delay them and distract them, but it can never stop them.

THE SHADOW IS BY NO MEANS ALWAYS NEGATIVE

We so often treat the shadow as a dark basement where we lock away our monstrous or socially unacceptable impulses.

But the shadow is not only the repository of our destructive aspects - it is the unlived life, the vault where we hide our light when the environment demands that we dim it, also known as the "Golden Shadow" in Jungian Psychology.

When we look at the shadow through this lens, the psychological heavy lifting of mining the shadow expands.

When a child is conditioned to believe that their brilliance, intensity, or power is "too much" for their primary caretakers, those traits are repressed to preserve the vital attachment bond.

The ego-defense mechanism ensures survival, but the ensuing cost is a fractured sense of self.

As adults, because these golden qualities are barred from conscious expression, they don't disappear...they constellate in the unconscious and are experienced through projection: we become intensely drawn to, or curiously resentful of, individuals who freely embody the very traits we have locked away.

The person who disowned their authority will be captivated by natural leaders; the person who repressed their creative fire will look at artists with a mix of awe and bitter longing.

We look for a suitable hook, or a person onto whom we project our own unconscious gold in the external world to hang our internal gold upon.
We idealize partners, mentors, or public figures, carrying their gold because we do not yet believe we possess the right to drink from our own well.

The process of integrating the golden shadow requires moving from idealization to internalization.

It is a delicate therapeutic and inner work task.
Inhabiting one's positive shadow often meets with immense internal resistance.
It triggers what Abraham Maslow called the Jonah Complex, the fear of our own greatness, the evasion of our destiny, and the anxiety of standing out.

To step into one's creativity, assertiveness, or wisdom means giving up the safety of playing small and facing the existential guilt of outgrowing the family or cultural matrix that demanded the initial repression.

And that is easier said than done.
Yet the golden shadow will continue to knock at the door, and if we refuse to open the door to our own gold, the unconscious will find a way to turn up the volume and take the door down.

What are traits/qualities/skills you consistently admire in others that may be a hint at your own inner gold?
