Just left one of the best groups that I have ever spoken to!
Picture this ... a great hotel, great weather, great company leaders and a group of voracious learners. As we talked the conversation turned to personal improvement and reaching more of their potential.
It occurred to me that the entire group had begun the process of Self Examination. Which is always the first step in creating change. Self examination allows us insight into the discovery of that part of us we are trying to bring out of our potential. In many cases this group had to release the tendency to help others before they would help themselves.
One by one they began to change their expectations of how they could grow and how they would growth. We moved from the thought of growth to using their thoughts to envision that growth. Even more, we discussed what that growth would look like and feel like.
I hope you picked up on something here. Reflective time or self examination is the singularly most important personal time we can give ourselves. Act out your dreams in your mind as if it's your life right before you live it. The "live it" part has a higher probability of realization when we affirm what we want in life rather than just letting life happen to us.
