Time for Reflection

Every so often we should all take time out for ourselves to see what we have done, what we have achieved (or not) and where we are going.  Sometimes because real life gets in the way and because of the fast pace of life generally we forget to take stock of our current situation.  Because we do not give ourselves time for reflection we keep on peddling the bicycle (or if you are a swan letting the legs swim nineteen to the dozen under the water) but on the surface appear to glide along the river easily.  Sometimes appearances are just that appearances, but scratch the surface and you will find out that there is a decent human being who is trying their best to make their way in life. 

It is only really when we make the time to reflect on where and what we have done that we can see how far we have progressed and moved on from the point where you have been.  It is only when you see the wood through the trees that you can put things into perspective.

So, by not charging into everything like the "proverbial bull in the china shop" you can reclaim your power, and your focus and re-point yourself back in the right direction. Nothing is ever really lost.  Sometimes you are meant to re-evaluate where you are and what your next actions are to be rather than planning everything out in your mind's eye and then getting upset and stuck on the fact that something has not worked out exactly as you had planned it.

In real life it is not what happens that is important but how you deal with it that is the real lesson and as long as it enables you to get from point A to point B, that is really all that matters.  Not how you get there but the fact that you get there.  So no matter what the situation is nothing is ever lost and by taking the time to reflect on events and in the mere act of pausing and having time for reflection you can re-focus, re-align and point yourself in the right direction no matter what the circumstances.  Remember our journeys are individual to ourselves and one person's way of getting from point A to point B may not be your way of doing things.  

Getting there is all that matters.

Catch you soon.
