Red Button Ginger

WOW, another year is almost done... it is time again to reflect on our lives...

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward...Soren Kierkegaard

The Red Button Ginger Flower symbolizes fiery passion and strength; 

Just what you and I need in our daily living: How to continue our passion for life, how to understand and face our challenges with strength, and how to maintain peace and happiness within our inner selves. 

The ginger is known to be a cure-all for any ailment for as long as I remember...from ginger tea to ginger candy...but it is more of a comforting ingredient for my life. 

What is reflection?

Reflection is the flower of the mind, giving out wholesome fragrance but revelry is the same flower, when rank and running to seed... Desiderius Erasmus

#1 Focus your thoughts on your experiences. 

#2 Gain greater understanding of your actions, feelings, thoughts.

#3 Become more aware of knowledge and skills that were developed.

#4 Identify your strengths for personal development

#5 Recognize your weaknesses and learn from them

#6 Now you are a little more ready for the future!

After looking back on experiences, pondering over them, learning from them...

DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF BETTER? 

I love to reflect whenever I get a chance to do so. It encourages me to be aware of my thoughts and feelings, and to relate it to my daily life. As if after drinking a cup of hot ginger tea, I feel rejuvenated after a moment of silence and reflection... with new insights, new understanding, new goals, and a "refreshed" meaning for living.

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden 
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe -
