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.
A treat for the mind, body and spirit! Step inside the pages of
this book to discover a world of tranquility and calm. You will be
