A meditative mood may interrupt the flow of your day today, compelling you to put aside your roster of duties in order to retreat into a private place. If your schedule is fixed and cannot be changed, you may find yourself seeking out opportunities to take short breaks in which you engage in sessions of deep introspection. Your most private thoughts may be of past events and associations, leading you to question why your thinking patterns are mired in your personal history. Consider taking some time to think back to determine how incidents and people in your past helped you become the person you are today. You may discover that unresolved issues are only just now revealing themselves and that contemplation can aid you in beginning a more liberated phase of life.

In looking to our past for answers regarding our present circumstances, we empower ourselves to learn from the choices and mistakes we made in the past. Locked in our personal histories are lessons that can teach us much about how the world responds to the decisions we have made as we endeavored to realize our dreams. We not only learn about ourselves as we reflect upon our early years; we also see how time and circumstance has changed us, creating the individuals we are in the present. The wisdom we acquire through contemplation can help us make thoughtful and informed decisions regarding the paths we have chosen to follow. Your reflections will help you see more clearly today, enabling you to make the most of each and every day.
