Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
Margaret J. Wheatley, is a writer and management consultant who studies organizational behavior.
I’ve mentioned before that one of the advantages of working on one’s life story is that it provides an opportunity for reflection. I find the end of the year is a natural time for reflection. I block out some quiet time and look back on the past twelve months. These are some of the questions I ponder. What has worked for me? What hasn’t? What goals did I achieve? What am I the proudest of? What regrets do I have? What do I need to do more of?
