Article One

A MODEL OF REFLECTION
by Tiffany Johnson

I want you to think back on the past few years as January 1st approached. Were they filled with great anticipation of the new year to come, was there an indifference to that day and those that followed, or are you like me; the perpetual optimist. Most of my first days of the year are filled with the determination to change, grow, mature, create, be disciplined or just challenging myself. My commitment to begin every New Year with a new perspective, does not stem from the last being bad or unfulfilling, but simply because I can.

Some years ago I had determined to make more quality time for discovering who I was and the path I was on. This was my time to reflect, to record my life and to dream. I begin a journal. My model of reflection, where the real me had to show up and give an account of my life, my integrity, character, values, and morality. You learn a lot about the truth of yourself, the ruts you create, the passions you desire, when you see yourself on those pages.

It is a beautiful journey, empowering, dedicated to self assurance. See you don’t look into the eyes of others to build validation; you look into the life you have created on those pages and are reminded of the greatness in you on any given day. On any given day, what was your passion, the obstacle you overcame, the white lie you wish you hadn’t told, and the forgiveness you received when the truth came out. On any given day, you were brilliant, loved, loved another, generous, and merciful. On any given day, you are….


The truth of journaling is this, it is a discipline. Something you have to determine to be a faithful to. You have to value the time it takes to discern who you are. You have to be committed to your journey through written exploration. It’s not always an easy journey either, discovery. However, I can assure you journaling is one of the most powerful choices you will make for your life.

LIVING IN THE NOW

Do you find yourself reliving past experiences, anxious or worried about the future? Is your time often spent somewhere caught between the two? It is said the right now is called the “present” because it is the greatest gift we have. I believe that!! Yesterday cannot be changed. Tomorrow never comes! Today is all we have, so why not give it our full attention. One of the best ways to create this practice in your life is by journaling. It forces you to consider where you are right then. In the NOW, the MOMENT, and what it offers, be it tears or laughter, love or fear, hope or failure, absorb it onto every page. In this way you will never lose a day and they will all be relevant to your life’s journey.

On any given day … you will know… who you are!
