Time for Reflection
What does it mean to take time to reflect?
Taking time to
reflect means slowing down enough to stop, enjoy the adventure and
figure out what is really important to YOU. Learn what you like and dislike. Do something for fun… for you.
Is it possible to be
too smart for your own good? My answer
at this point in my life is, without a doubt.
For some of us, questioning ourselves is unthinkable because it may show
a kink in the armor. All my life I have
been so sure of myself that to begin to question my life’s decisions, might
show some level of weakness or failure.
However, life has
taught me so much, that to reflect on my life periodically is actually a sign
of maturity and strength. In life’s journey
we are like a ship at sea. Just like a
ship is affected by the elements, and ocean’s currents, so our lives are
affected by things that we are aware of and many that blindside us. Navigational adjustment is a requirement to
arrive at our planned destinations.
Most recently, I have
stayed away from posting on this blog because I was in search of me. Fortunately, one of my discoveries is that I
do enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts with you (my readers). I’ve been contacted by some readers, asking
me if everything is alright. Thank you
for asking, I can answer that I’ve never been better. I am reminded of a dear friend (no longer
with us) that used to say, “I’m in great shape, for the shape I’m in!”
Imagine for a moment
that I climbed a mountain for the mere purpose of meditating and seeing the
world from a different perspective.
In the process, I’ve
completed some items from my bucket list. What?
You don’t have one? Everyone
needs a Bucket List! It doesn’t have to
be “the end of Life Bucket List.”
My definition of a
bucket list is, a list of items that need to be given priority to track and
complete timely (you set the timeline). See my post on Bucket List: http://www.being50.com/2013/02/making-bucket-list.html
Glad to see you back good article as usual!
