Reflection

“There is an art which every man should be a master of. The art of reflection.” This is said by English poet, literary critic and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Yes, we are allowed to look through the windows into yesterday. Take it as a walk in the park which updates you about your dreams. It’s almost like a a GPS device which ensures that you are moving in the right direction or a reminder that prevents you from living irresponsibly.

Reflection permits introspection, allowing one to evaluate themselves and their overall actions in terms of settling their goals. In between the busy hours of our daily actions, drawing out time for reflection gives birth to wisdom and offers us guidance.

It’s a platform upon which we perform the crossing out of the objectives we’ve managed to attain. This brings about focus, inspection for loopholes and concentration on the hindering factors that impeded our actions from bringing forward productive and fruitful results.

Only then can we draw up a new strategic plan with measures that minimise the impediments and overcome obstacles of our previous actions. This can only comes about as results of insight and reflection. If you constantly reestablish effort and intrinsic willpower, eventually it moulds reflection into one of the most powerful tools you can use to tackle unmet objectives and goals.

On the road to success, which can be looked at as daily or a yearly achievement, reflection is one of the ingredients to bring out the real taste.
