Why would we need to examine our lives? What benefit does it yield? Isn’t it just rehashing
past?All of these questions have merit and I will examine each in this article.
Self progression has a strong tie to one’s willingness to be able to reflect on pertinent decisions. Moreover, this task, if done daily and immediately after an action or decision, can bear much fruit.
Have you ever sat and stared out at something beautiful like a glassy lake or a foggy mountain and simply thought about your life and what it seemingly means?
This, simply put, is
nuts and bolts of introspection. To introspect is, in basic terms, reflecting or self examining what certain things mean to you. Introspection allows you to ask yourself why you should or shouldn’t have done something a certain way.
Asking poignant, yet logical, questions to yourself and resolving to come out more insightful because of this action, clears
ambiguities of life.
Becoming accountable to yourself as well as others is an extremely empowering concept. This means that whatever comes around
bend or up
hill, you are resolved to face it without
worry of contaminating something due to your actions or lack thereof.
This, in turn, certainly becomes a sort of purification process and eases any turmoils that rattle your subconscious. It’s truly beneficial to resist stagnation, strive for self progression, and discover introspection’s significant importance.
Without a doubt, many people would argue that
past is just
past, and rehashing it is merely a waste of time, so just move forward.
Well, moving forward is one thing. However, dissecting your recent and long-term past, is truly
only way we can learn from our mistakes, keeping those lessons learned always in our back pocket.
Don’t be afraid to be critical, if your actions or lack thereof, warrant it.
