Ever take time to reflect? Unfortunately, this is becoming a lost art. We are so busy wrapped up in our to-do lists, kids, work, and lives that we often don’t take time to reflect on the past days, weeks, or months. Reflecting allows us to revisit memories and think about what we’ve found important enough to remember.
Reflecting requires us to quiet the noise and focus on one specific thought or memory. It gives us the opportunity to remember the things we should be thankful for, the things we need to work on, and our priorities. What would we do if we didn’t have anything to reflect on? Think about it; what if you looked into the mirror and nothing was there? We’re given this strange opportunity to look back in time…to relive moments of fun, excitement, anger, sadness – and given the chance to ask “What if?”.
Running is the time I usually have to reflect. It’s a time of peace, quiet, and a stillness of early morning calm. Typically it’s just me and the sounds of my own footsteps. It’s a rhythm of stillness; if there is such a thing.
Your reflection is the truth and bare foundation of who you are. You can’t make up history, but you can create the future. What do you see?
