Grateful for (the habit of) Introspection



black jack of all trades by Michael P Wright default

Today, I’m grateful for humility.

A long time friend my age reminded me that not everyone develops the skills self-reflection or introspection.

If you’re not able to sit to take a humble seat, you’ll miss out on the opportunities life gives you to learn about yourself.

And even when you do learn about yourself — the mirror is held by your hand or someone else’s, figuratively — it takes another level of humility to take action. Goes without saying that if when look at that reflection and see nothing harmful, you might not consider changing.

Introspection

Introspection is a skill that can become a habit.

I have a theory that self-reflecting, analyzing, and taking actions to correct yourself can also become habits.
