Reflection - a vice?

We say stop, listen, reflect, measure up, act, for if we don’t how can we move forward in a focused and clear way and become better at our craft and living...



But have you found that sometimes our reflections are negative? They stop us in our track, they slow us down; they take our minds away from simple solutions; they distract and can distort our views. We start comparing our craft or ourselves to others and start seeing only our flaws...These moments of doubt or fear on our very being take great courage to overcome. They should provoke us to action, but how many of us get bogged down in our own vanity; our fears rise to the surface, masking our expressive selves. Isn’t it a paradox that at times I feel we value ourselves too highly that it stops us from living our passions, our desires our dreams but in actual fact the vanity manifests itself into a low self-worth breathing giant...I certainly am one of those individuals who needs to stop thinking and jump in to the activities that bring me great enjoyment and satisfaction...i shall keep moving...
