Always set aside a time to reflect. A period of reflection is a time or rest and a time to recharge. It is the point where one evaluates desired outcomes and measures them against current progress. Periods of frequent reflection are important and should never be neglected.

When gazing in the mirror at one’s visage one aims to correct perceived flaws, enhance (beautify), or simply clean up.When one checks his or her reflection in the mirror it is done as a means of affirmation, to affirm that every part of one’s appearance is in order.  This is a means of polishing oneself before interacting with the world. It is a means of preparation.  One does this solely to make themselves presentable to self and the external world.

When one reflects on his or her goals, motives, or life it is an act of polishing. It is the act of measuring and affirming ones goals, direction, and path. That which is out of sync is realigned and that which is beautiful is enhanced.

Reflection is not an arduous task it is simply the act of purposed thought and meditation. It is necessary for our growth as human beings.

It is through this process, of reflection, that we assess our methods and measures of progress, for success.

This should be done every evening after you have completed all  your activities of the day.

• Reflect on all you have done, learned, and experienced.
• Try to find understanding.
• Pledge to change those ugly things which are detrimental to your progress and build on all those things that beautiful.
