If you've been hurt, a time to stop and reflect can get you started in the grieving process leading to forgiveness. A serious conflict with a friend taught me a lesson on forgiveness. We failed to resolve a major issue, which eventually broke up the relationship. On my part, I was deeply hurt. While on vacation from work, I took the time to analyze what happened and what I did wrong. After a couple of months of prayer and reflection, I apologizing and forgiving at the same time. And forget everything. With that, I regained my peace. As far as ibwas concerned, the conflict was over. We might not be able to restore the friendship, but at least we be at peace with each other.

Reflection can provide perspective. It provides you an opportunity to step back and analyze the situation, enabling you to see things more clearly before you take appropriate action. When stressed out or overwhelmed by problems, we sometimes lose our objectivity. In order to avoid this, we need to take time to think. Based on the sufficient information we gather through the thinking process, reflection prepares us to act, not impulsively, but responsibly.

If you are in constant pain, disabled, or terminally ill, know the critical role reflection can play in your life as you learn to cope. It is possible to suffer meaningfully if you try to see the big picture, put your life into spiritual perspective, and challenge distortions in your thoughts patterns, replacing them with positive ones.

A time reflect, in a nutshell, is a time for us to see life from another perspective, a better perspective, one that will help us make most of and grow through what life deals us with.
