Journal's Final Reflection



“I want to look into the parts of my personality that I hide from myself.” - Cynthia Pittmann


I am profoundly grateful for participating from the opportunity of fulfilling the journal task, this inspired me to write and exteriorize in a sincere way the plethora of thoughts that rush towards my conscious and subconscious mind on a daily basis. It has definitely been a compelling journey; I found what I needed all along, a genuine, authentic and truthful conversation with my own self to organize my thoughts, and ultimately the outcome of my life.

I’ve realized that we become what we think, because what we most profoundly think of we are bound to act upon; what we act upon is driven by the choices we make, the choices we make governs our outcome, our outcomes provide a feedback loop in which we can either positively influence our thoughts or negatively influence them. This influence manages to work itself upon our mind; ultimately emanating it’s frequency and energy to the universe, which in turn answers us with exactly what we gave. 

This assignment has somewhat incited betterment in my life, after its completion I decided to live every moment of my whole life in a 12/12 basis. I am aware of a useful compass that can guide me in times of turmoil; I just need to emanate an optimal spiritual and natural north; have a cascade of coherent, promising, fulfilling ideas in my east; embrace the beauty of emotions, bringing homeostasis to my south; and enjoy a healthy, energized, well able physic that’s capable of working hard and conquering dreams in my west.

Mysteriously this task has come to bring about a lesson I won’t soon forget. We need to shift our entire attention to the magic of the moment. We sometimes say that something’s missing in our life, and the only thing missing is presence. We need to train our mind to see the beautifulness and the good every single situation offers. This is your life, your decisions, your hopes, your happiness, and your dreams. It was Franklin D. Roosevelt who once said: “The only thing we should fear is fear itself.” So live a life you’re proud of and pursue every single one of your hopes, goals and dreams. Fear, remorse and regret are not an option. Let’s upgrade our mentality, let’s bring about a shift in our own awareness and subsequently we’ll light up the life of those that surround us.

  1. I agree with you about how you feel with this activity. Like you said, I believe we need to capture the magic of the moment and train our mind to see the good offerings about every single situation. By the way, I like Franklin Roosevelt's quote. Great post!

  2. I've tried to remember my dreams, but I can't seem to manage it. I wish to understand and see what my inner self wants to tell me.

  3. Manuel, it is a challenge to shift our attention to the moment and the activity is designed to bring us to present moment awareness. That experience is a self-honoring technique. I've trained myself to reflect back to my thoughts, feelings without judgement, but it's an ongoing process. Lately, I've been tuning in to myself with the self-reflection question, am I at ease at this moment? We tend to amplify our stress my just ignoring it as it builds. This self-check reminds me to be at ease and accept the moment. Nice job on the relfection.

  4. It was very shocking how you say the only thing missing is presence. We sometimes feel so lost, but all we need is to think a little harder about what we are living and how are we feeling. Sometimes we are not that lost, but simply blinded by bigger problems.
