Quiet time for everyone is interpreted differently and remembering when I was still in secondary school and was a member of a Christian fellowship, or when I would visit some relatives of mine, they would refer to their devotional hours of meditating in the word of God and prayers as Quiet time and I think that was the first way I got used to the idea of the term Quiet Time used for our personal prayer time.
Reflecting on my life has been the most reoccurring thing I do and it is something I do absolutely everyday. In fact my reflections now come subconsciously and I guess probably it's because of how well I reflect or something.
Though I may want to put it this way that my general reflections, meditating therein on without distraction from anywhere or anyone on how I have spent my life for the day, what I did and was not supposed to have done, things I said and was not supposed to have been said, and so on. Like they all come splashing at me like rays of light.
Most times, I even get to scold myself like my outerior body was sort of a master or saint and scolding the inner me to not have done what I just remembered I had done and there are times that they all just looked normal and then sleep in peace.
Reflecting on our lives should not be something seasonal or occasionally cos how does a potter know how bad or how good what they just moulded is if they had not taken time to stop to check
For me like I said above, reflection is something I do on a daily basis and it has really helped me in the way I live my life, reducing the errors I make with people, myself or correcting the ones I had made already.
It makes me wanna be a better person the more especially if there was an error I committed in my previous day.
Being a human isn't an easy destiny to carry because you have so many things to deal with and do many challenges to encounter of which in the process you must still ensure to live with the people around or faraway in peace so do you really wanna live fulfilling all these without some sort of reflections. In my own thinking, there will be so many errors, ones that can be revisited to correct and ones that not correctable and leaves a lasting regret in our minds.
Though a friend was telling me yesterday when we said something concerning scolding oneself when you realize you just did something bad, he said that not everyone has that gift and that people with such habit are really few but I know as humans, we can be whatever we want to become if we really want to be. So becoming someone who reflects on their lives if you are not one before would just take a little time and intentional mindset to achieve that.
Reflection is something I'm used to and it now happen subconsciously (I don't know if it's still healthy that way lol) so it's not something that would leave me even if I want to leave it so we continue till death do us part, hehehe.
