Riview Your Life

Review your life

"Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action."

-- James Levin

Take a few minutes today to reflect on what has happened recently and to put the last week in perspective. What made an impact on you this last week? What do you want to set as a goal for next week?

Reflection helps us step back from the details of our lives and see the bigger picture with fresh eyes. It's worth a few moments of your time. Review your week and come up with at least one conclusion, insight or learning and write it in your journal.

“Just because we increase the speed of information doesn't mean we can increase the speed of decisions. Pondering, reflecting and ruminating are undervalued skills in our culture.”

-- Dale Dauten

When I look back over my life, I can see how many of those old tapes influenced my life. This is how a good little Christian girl should act, this is how a good mother, sister, daughter, aunt, etc. should feel, act, preform, etc.

So little of my actions were God centered, and what was good for me. I grew up with a lot of anger and resentment and didn't know why.

In today, when I pause and go within, the answers are there. My connection to my HP leads and directs my life and I no longer be self-centered, self-serving, and find self-esteem, self-respect, and self-worth.

Too bad I didn't know how to spell back then. One of my cards today was committment. There was a part of me that didn't want to post. I know I feel better after I do, especially when I go back to an old post. I need to remember that I don't do this just for me and my recovery, it is about paying it forward, all the blessing and gifts that were granted to me. They are too numerous to count.
