As I begin 2010 I am reminded of the importance of reflection. We live in a culture of doing. Reflection and rest are often viewed as a waste of time or lazyness. We must recapture the value of reflection.
As you start the new year it may be important to consider thinking and reflection as a valuable part of your work. Do you have a big project to get done? Or perhaps you are confused about what paths to take in this new year. Take some time to reflect.
Consider taking a time of reflection at the beginning of your day to consider what you want to accomplish and what is important to you. It is also helpful to periodically take longer times of reflection about your goals and direction in life.
Though easily forgotten, the work of thinking and reflection are important keys to your success.
