Daily Reflection is a positive habit that can bring profound change into your life. Taking time out to reflect on your day and consider what went well or not so well is the perfect way to learn from and build on successes, as well as learn from failures and find ways to make improvements, helping you to grow and do better next time. It gives you great ideas, helps you to help others, makes you happier, and it gives perspective in life. In the busyness of daily life, the feeling of overwhelm is increasingly common. A high-pressure lifestyle, whether it's trying to meet tight deadlines or simply trying to be all things to all people, can lead to a setback or a mistake becoming the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. In reflection, you gain an opportunity to step back and see the bigger picture. In the grand scheme of things, are the "end of the world" problems you're facing really insurmountable? In reflection, you find calm, and in calm you see things from a different perspective. You can't control what other people do, you can only control what you do - and how you react to what others do - so creating change in your world begins and ends with creating change in yourself. As someone wise once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Instead of wasting energy being angry at the world and frustrated by the actions of others, turn your attention to your own thoughts and actions and consider how they influence the world around you. The pages of this book provide a thought-provoking message and two reflection points for each day of the year. You may or may not agree with the reflection points, but that's the beauty of reflection and contemplation. Only through coming to your own conclusions do you begin to gain a greater understanding of how you think, and how your thoughts and beliefs may be influencing your actions and outcomes in life. Every resource you need to be and do better is already within you. Daily Reflection is the key to discovering and becoming your best self.
