Today, a highly meditative mood can put you in a mind to seek out a private place in which you can better hear your small, inner voice. As you put aside your many worldly concerns in order to engage in introspective activities that allow you to analyze your life as a whole and your individual experiences, you may begin to see a pattern that has emerged repeatedly in your existence. Your expectations can give you insight into the manner in which your choices have influenced your development today because what you hoped to achieve likely had a large impact on those decisions that later proved to be life-altering.

We begin to see how our choices have affected the quality of our lives in the past and present when we reflect upon the expectations we carried with us in our younger days. Frequently, it is what we hope to achieve that provides us with guidance and direction as we endeavor to meet personal and professional goals. Whether or not we realize these dreams is often less important to our overall fate than the expectations that shaped our visions of what was to come. Introspection allows us to see the causal relationships that impacted our experiences, and we can draw upon what we learn during our meditations in the future when we are called upon to make challenging decisions regarding our destinies. When you indulge your introspective impulses today, you will learn a great deal about the forces impacting your existence.
