I was reading an assignment for my literacy class, and this great quote came up.
"Reflection is really a discussion with oneself."
I've been doing a lot of that lately, and I find that after I have a good, deep conversation with myself, I feel quite better. It's funny, it doesn't make the situation any better, but because my thoughts have been expressed in a semi-orderly fashion, I'm better able to examine them and make conclusions about what I should do or how I truly feel. This totally ties in with the Gospel, all that encouragement to write in journals and ponder and reflect. They are true principles, and I'm glad that I could tie the Gospel in with my academic studies. Thanks BYU!
