I believe that self reflection is a lot like spring cleaning. It's a time to evaluate what you have, what you need, and what you can dispose of. As you do this, you will find some things you will and should continue to carry with you on your journey. These "things" should be positive attributes that are still of use to you. Likewise, there are always some things that you could live without and definitely benefit by riding yourself of. Choose to keep the beneficial, and rid yourself of the destructive. Any bad habits that have been picked up this winter can also be disposed of with the right mind set & enough motivation. Evaluating your current situation is necessary in gaining new insights into where you would like to be. Use your present and past as reference points to where you would like to go, but remember not to let them hold you back.
