The problem is we are not usually taught how to be reflective. Nor are we invited to be reflective. Instead, for the most part, we are programmed to rush from thing to thing as though our very survival depends on it. We may be chasing some unconscious and even unexamined dream of achieving a prosperous, wealthy life. Or, we may have had so many setbacks in our life that we are living a life of just barely surviving.
Self-reflection using any facilitation method or journaling with good questions will help you grow. Being clearer in your own words and actions in life, will also help you help others in your community, family, friends and colleagues. When I allow myself to think really big, I imagine that self-facilitated people will heal the planet, deal with global crises, wars, and maybe even save us from self-destruction
