onas gave his name to a psychological complex on which C.G. Jung, G. Bachelard, and A. Maslow worked in particular. There are many interpretations made of Jonas’ behavior. We will retain that of CG Jung in psychoanalysis and A. Maslow in behavioral psychology: for Jung, Jonas’ stay in the whale’s belly expresses the need to return to the mother’s womb – a need for protection, a place where we let ourselves be carried away; for Maslow, it is an escape from his responsibilities, the “fear of his own greatness.”
When you reach a certain level of personal development, you have a reasonable knowledge “of your own worth; as a result, you suffer less frustration, anxiety, insecurity, or loneliness. You work in a profession you love, are fully committed to it, are autonomous while developing a strong sense of belonging to your company. Why if you are born with such great potential, do you limit yourself so much? Are you afraid of becoming great and powerful? It’s actually a cruel way to sabotage you.
No longer suffer from the Jonas Complex! Identify your fears and anxiety which are your main demons and get to work. Do not compare yourself with others and do not be envious. It is a mechanism that allows you to avoid believing in your vision. You cross the river of mediocrity, for fear of not being up to it, without even tempting it. It’s time to face your reality and takes responsibility.
