It is very important, from time to time, to pause and reflect on life, where we come from, where we are now and where we are going.
Reflection will give us confidence and peace of mind.
It will get us back on the right track if we are moving in the wrong direction.
Every person has a good and a bad side. Those who are afraid to reflect and face their own demons stop growing because they internalise, cover up and run away from their problems. They end up living in a world of delusion.
Reflection is an absolute requirement for learning and growth. Confucius said we acquire wisdom in three ways: by reflection which is noblest, by imitation which is easiest and by experience which is the bitterest. We can grow only when we face up to our inner weaknesses and start working hard on changing them.
