An introspective mind-set can strike suddenly today, causing you to put aside thoughts associated with obligations and objectives in order to focus on how you feel. Unexplained emotions can transport you back to childhood where you may find that you can, for the first time, see the connection between your past and your present. Revelations such as these can help you better understand yourself and meet your individual needs. If you continue searching your personal history, including your relationships with family members and friends, long after your main questions have been answered, you will likely find that your thoughtfulness helps you reach a number of enlightening conclusions today.

Reflecting upon the joys of childhood oftentimes reminds us of pleasures long since forgotten that we can, if we wish, reintegrate into our lives as methods of stress reduction. Though many elements of the adult world dissuade us from taking part in seemingly childish pursuits, we can glean much from the escapades of our youth. In the games we enjoyed, we discover the roots of the activities we love as mature and thoughtful grown-ups. Similarly, if we take our explorations a step further and include other aspects of our childhood in our reflections, we find that many pieces of our personality puzzle can be connected to our younger years and that there are potent insights in directions our childlike flights of fancy take us in the present. Your introspection will likely take you into your own past today where you will clearly see the road that has lead you toward adulthood.
