Why Wait Until You’re Sick?

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I've been under the weather. But I'M BACK!!!! I always wondered why people seem to have their deepest revelations during their time of ailment. After being sick these last couple of days I think I can understand on some level. It is because it is time you are at your most vulnerable state. And you have time on your hands that you would not normally take to reflect on your life. It forces you to slow down and really view the life around you. Even as a teenager you need to take the time out to reflect on your past, view your present, and plan for your future.

It allowed me to reflect on my own life and assess what is truly important to me. It now has allowed me to focus my energies on what is important to me and what my next steps will be. My question now is why wait until your ill and forced to sit still to reflect. I believe this is something that we must do on a regular basis. Self reflection is a critical part of the destiny journey. So as a young person if you are serious about discovering what you destiny is here in this life then start now to make self reflection a part of that journey. Don't wait until you're forced into it, because you will be. One way or another you will have to look at what is known as your life and decide what is going be your next step. Wouldn't you rather do it because you want to then because you are forced into it?
