Over the past 45 days, there have been plenty ideas, concepts and so much more to think about. Just like life, things come at you 100 mph. Every once in a while, it is a great idea to put the parking brakes on and sit idle for a bit. During that "idle" time you are to REFLECT on all that has happened up until this point.
Word of Warning: Don't idle so long that your "engine" overheats
Sit "idle" long enough to:
• Absorb all that has happened
• Understand what has happened and why
• Plan your next move / Chart your course
• Execute
This is not like daily meditation in that you clear your mind. No, this time to actively reflect is for when you really want to go over the things that have recently happened and to contemplate on how and where you want your life to go from this point on.
As I wrote, don't take too long to execute because whether you want to believe it or not stuff is already happening, decisions have been made, and the plans of others are being executed as you read this. So don't let it overtake you and pass you by. The last thing you want to do is spin your wheels while you are trying to get up to speed.
Thanks,
