So I've realised that my last post was about 1.5 years ago... and I decided to reflect on that.
Has my lifestyle really become that busy? No. I have plenty of time to play Xbox for hours. So, really, it's a choice. I have been choosing not to take time out, reflect and blog my thoughts coherently. I may have been thinking that my thoughts aren't worth blogging but I'm sure I've had lightbulb moments that I failed to note.
How many people these days in our society take regular time out to gather and organise their thoughts and to ponder about things other than the mundane necessities of life, exciting gossip, work debriefing or the myriad of other distractions that fail a simple test: DO THEY CHANGE YOU AS A PERSON? A nice thing about life is that if you are unhappy about something and you reflect on it, you can actually work towards changing something in yourself or your situation that will then remove your unhappiness. Not changing anything relies on the much less likely possibility of your situation changing itself. The worst that can happen is that nothing at all changes and you continue being unhappy.
So is reflection crucial for change? Indubitably.
Following on from the above, it may make it easier for me to blog more regularly by reflecting on those things that make me unhappy. Perhaps that's one of the problems these days - because of the constant barrage of distractions, people forget that they are unhappy about things.. and so they don't reflect.. and so nothing changes.
And now to see how the tennis is going on TV...
