It is the end of the year 2011. My how time flies. They say as you get older time moves faster, and I totally agree. What are you doing with your time? Shopping? Reading? Working out? Working? Studying? Praising? Praying? Worrying? Complaining? Evaluating? Reflecting?
A wise person once told me, the most important mark on a tombstone is not the date of birth or date of death, but the DASH. The dash represents your time spent, which is the most important part of your life. As humans, living in a fast pace world, as students trying to become a more productive citizen, as teachers striving to make the world a better place, as parents, wives, husbands, sons, or daughters we are faced with a million demands on our time. Time management and prioritizing are essential to living a productive and balanced life. It may not be the easiest to attain, but they help your life operate smoothly. However, we often forget to reflect.
During these next 10 days, many people will be reflecting on the past year of their lives. They will be looking for ways to improve, elevate, prosper and attain the life they desire. But a "once-a-year" reflection is not enough. Think of how much you could grow if you regularly took time to reflect on your life. You would be able to pay close attention to mistakes and mishaps and plan better for the future.
My advice: take time to look back, so you can keep moving forward. If you don't reflect, time may be moving but you may be standing still.
Hindsight is always 20/20- (that's what THEY say)
