“People who have had little self-reflection live life in a huge reality blind spot.” – Bryant McGill
Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want a different result, make a different choice. Self-reflection is truly a humbling process. It’s essential to find out why you think, say, and do certain things – then better yourself. The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress and grows brave by reflection.
The first month of the year is gone, yes, January 2020 is over and will never be recovered nor experienced again. This is what has been happening in our lives with precision and predictability, in case you haven’t noticed. February 2020 is only three days old will be gone soon. Here’s my formula that has saved me by keeping me awake at all times and I have no doubt it will benefit you as well. Start by reflecting, that’s taking stock of January.
1. What did I plan? Write those things down
2. What did I achieve and what did I not? Write them down
3. What did I do to achieve what I did? Write them down.
4. What didn’t I do or did for me not to achieve what I had planned?
These are the first practical reflection questions in whatever situation you are dealing with. Now, the following second set of questions should follow once you’ve completed the first.
My talks, coaching sessions and books are all about the idea of self-awareness and unleashing your greatness. So if you really want to raise the bar on your life, you now know what to do and you will see and experience your life transforming. You have the power to live your dreams.
