The scope of our human vision is limited, not only by the constraints
                 of our physical eyesight but also by the perceptions and viewpoints
                 that we hold in our minds eye. Make an agreement with yourself to
                 strive to always look beyond the obvious with a desire to understand
                 and to look more deeply. This is reflection.

                 Take some time each day to reflect.

                 True reflection asks us to free ourselves from any loaded
                 preconception or assumptions and to take time to really hear and
                 consider all aspects of an experience.

                 True reflection involves objectivity, a state of being where we
                 enhance our ability to be both present and yet an observer at the
                 same time, to feel deeply involved and yet un-involved in the same
                 moment, to care and yet simultaneously hold an objective
                 viewpoint.

                 When we occupy a space of reflection we sit in paradox because as a
                 space of learning and possibility it is by its very nature a place of
                 movement and potential growth, and yet it is also a place of
                 stillness, peacefulness and quiet.

                 Reflection is never a busy place.

                 Embracing true reflection is a one of the most valuable tools that we
                 have available to us. It enables us to notice. Whenever we notice
                 something we create a window of opportunity in which our
                 deepening awareness can inform our conscious thinking and direct
                 our actions.
