Despite its importance, self-reflection is a markedly rare practice in the modern world. The fast pace of life today does not give us many moments to be alone with our thoughts. After a long day at work, many people tend to find relief from their favorite television shows, and of course the ever-present internet provides endless distractions. In short, self-reflection has become a lost art. This is unfortunate because it is through careful contemplation of our thoughts and actions that we learn who we are, where we are, and where we want to be. Most of the great philosophers spent their lives in self-reflection, and leaders of the past and present commonly spend time in quiet contemplation. Self-reflection requires courage, as it is not always easy to face the truths that we may uncover. We may discover that we have been acting in detriment to ourselves, or that we hold beliefs that are not truly our own. In order to grow and change, we must actively pursue understanding of ourselves. Self-reflection is a journey, and like any journey, it requires that we take a first step. Self-reflection begins with a willingness to take a step back and think about the things that we have done, and why we did them.
