Reasons For Reflection
Reflect on the life you have lived. Reflecting is one of the ways we can recharge ourselves, by discovering parts of ourselves we might have been forgetting. Reflecting helps us to accept ourselves as we are. It is also a great way to increase our inspiration levels and energy and take care of ourselves.
Why do we need reflection? Because reflection allows us to clarify and improve where we are in life. For example: when I reflect on my past, I become more aware of what I have achieved and where I am now. I also see areas that I have struggled with and how these areas affect me now. This way I have a clear view of what I need to do to achieve my goals. Therefore, reflection can provide a powerful platform for us to find out more about who we really are, and how we can enhance our lives, both personal and professional.
When I was growing up, I hid behind my mother's dress as she came downstairs in a skirt and high heels and acted like a "cunt". As an adult, I have changed and became a much better example of womanhood. I have helped many women and girls to achieve the careers they have always wanted, raised several children, traveled the world, met and married men and women, and built a successful business. Now as a happily married man, I realize the impact my past behavior has had on my present situation.
There are times in our lives when we need to reflect on why we made the choices we did. If we are not honest with ourselves, we will continually find ourselves procrastinating and steering clear of opportunities. By being honest with ourselves, we can see the things we did that were not right, and change the ways we think and act so that we do not repeat these same mistakes in the future. For example: if I procrastinated, I might not have finished college, get a promotion, or get a new job.
Another important reason for reflection is to let go of bad habits and negative thoughts and allow room for positive thoughts. For example: if I am always doubting myself, then I cannot enjoy life fully. If I am focused on failing and losing, then I will not take risks. When I am happy and positive, I will be able to use my talents to the best of my ability. So the next time you start feeling low and negative, just pause a moment, take a deep breath, and reflect for a few moments.
Finally, one of the best reasons for reflection is to expand your life vision. You may have a lot of goals and dreams, but how are you going to make good decisions for your life purpose? What are you passionate about? How is your life currently impacting your life? These are some of the questions you must ask yourself when reflecting.
