Introinspection (I know it's not a word--I made it up).

The value of taking a look at the inside of oneself cannot be overstated.  As the process of introspection unfolds, areas become exposed that might need careful inspection.  These could be areas that necessarily need some attention.  It could be something that is a bit off in your life, or it could be something that is very right.  In my life I find that drift occurs, and if I do not pay attention, I lose sight of what is real, meaningful, and most important.  An inward look often helps me gain perspective and put down anchors in order to stymie the drift.  And then there are those times that I look into myself and find things that I really like.  See the inspection process is not only designed to find "bad" things.  Right things are discovered when I venture into those internal places.  Finding those kind of areas gives me wonderful (and often needed) encouragement.  The truth is that when I engage that process, I am not always sure exactly what I might find.  In order for this process to be productive at any level, I must be entirely honest.  I have to be ready to take a look into the good, the bad, and the ugly.  And certainly there are times I find some of one or the other. Then there are those times when I find some of all.  My willingness to deal with what I find is key to moving forward in life.  How about you?  Will you venture into the process of introinspection?  Be ready...you may find some things you really like!!  I know I did!!
