I have been doing a lot of reflection over the last few days. Reflection is great for re-centering yourself in light of new information. Warning! Reflection is intoxicating. You can imagine all of the ways in which you can make things better, and there is no one around to stop you from drifting off into the ridiculous.
It gets dangerous when you convince yourself that you are doing something (which I have, many times). Reflection isn’t action. When I am using it to best advantage, it is an iterative activity. After each iteration, I share the results with someone I trust to give me honest feedback, and then I act on it. This helps me build a feedback loop which tests the quality of the thoughts that come out of my self-examination(s).
I guess I should be apologizing to thanking all of those folks I trust enough to annoy the crap out of with my ramblings.
Thanks.
Thanks right back at you, from somebody who wasted a lot of your time with ramblings over the past couple years. Still working on converting insights from those ramblings into action myself, but feel like I’m making progress.
Nice picture, by the way.
Wow! This is amazing raflection:) Lovely work!
@Eric When you get two people together that think better while talking something through, it can lead to a lot of conversation
@Robert Thanks! I was really taken by your photo of the Pula Colosseum. I need to travel more!
