Reflection

Reflection is a thought or writing about

something, particular in the past,

or what one sees when looking

into a mirror or body of water.

An example of reflection is an

article written by an author

discussing how he feels

he has grown in the past year

in his writing style.

Seeing one's own image in water

or in a mirror is the reflection of

one's body, however the real reflection

is knowing thy self i. e. self-realisation.

The language that we speak,

our style, mannerisms, all are

the reflection of ourselves.

As you are reflecting on your actions,

you might find flaws and mistakes,

and when you find these flaws,

it gets pretty easy to blame yourself.

It takes a lot of courage to accept

your flaws and to start working

on them determinedly,

 but this is what reflection is all about.

 Working on yourself and constantly

 being your own (constructive) critic

 is vital for overall growth.

Knowing one's own self or

self-knowledge is the start of

real wisdom.

Reflective thinking transforms

experience and gives the capacity to

gain an accurate and deep

understanding of someone or

something.
