You may be feeling reflective, which could have you contemplating the events of the past year and their impact on your life. You may feel a pull from within to meditate upon these thoughts from the perspective of your higher self. Using silence as protection from distraction, your connection to the wisdom of the universe, and your raised awareness, you may be able to see patterns that enable you to learn from what you've experienced and make better choices in the future. Rather than bothering with questions of why things happened the way they did, you can accept that there was a higher purpose to everything. With that comes the understanding that you made the best decisions you could based on the information you had at the time. But knowing what you know now enables you to make different choices. As you take the time to reflect and learn today, your choices are sure to be better.

When we look back on an entire year, we have the perspective of time. We can look back and see what followed after certain events and now understand them as positive outcomes. We may appreciate that one wonderful event may not have happened if it hadn't been for something less pleasant that occurred. We may not always be able to see the good that came from something, but the times that we can give us the wisdom to accept that good is present. Today reflecting upon the past is your affirmation of good in your life.
