![]() Force feeding nutrients -both to body and mind- that are already in abundance will be of no consequence. Impoverishment is not just for the body, it is true of the mind as well. Looking back upon what you need most- be it focus, commitment, ownership, a zing for life, or just another meal with good nutrition- can truly help nourish you. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but when you're testing the waters, don't use both your feet. Recollect the last storm of your life from which you barely came out alive. But some true characteristics which each of us have, and how they play into our lives are something we can get a hang on only through retrospection. Running away from something you don't like is definitely not what I'm talking about. No matter what your realm of expertise is, everybody has a weakness. You know you aren't crafted for it, you know it's something you shouldn't jump into. Those quicksands and storms, which you have gotten out of by the help of a friend, a mentor or sheer luck. Then there are those pits you absolutely have no strength to get out of. Looking back at a Math exam you just wrote or a sales pitch that totally went down the drain, or that biology record which is proof of how amazing your drawing skills are, or that code which you wrote with zero defects in it, can only help you get better at what you do- no matter how good or bad you are at it- whether you're a student or an employee or employer or any damn thing- as long as you're human, and you have a desire to improve. Accuracy is important, speed comes only second to it. ![]() Minor aberrations in your driving yesterday can be corrected when you retrospect about what went wrong! When you're almost there but not there yet, correction is key. Living each day as a brand new day is truly, amazingly brilliant but if you're going to forget what you did wrong yesterday, then today won't take you down any new road. What do you do when you set out a target for yourself, and didn't achieve it? What do you do when you aced your last goal, and are about to set a new goal for yourself? Well, the golden word? Retrospect. Time-outs are a boon, if you know how to use them well. Being 100% involved in life is a wonderful thing to do- but even a football game has time-outs after a quarter.
