If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free, cause there's a million ways to be, you know that there are. ~ Yusuf Islam
Self Reflection quotes by Yusuf Islam
I've always had a talent for recognizing when I am in a moment worth being nostalgic for. ~ Lena Dunham
Self Reflection quotes by Lena Dunham
Questions arise for self-reflection: "Is it really all that money that I want, or is it the glamour that I have attached to it? What is it that I want from that job title or from that designation of "Dr." and "Esq." and "Rev."? Is it the responsibility and activities that go along with it, or is it the glamour and esteem associated with it? Do I really love that person, or am I in love with the glamour I have projected onto him or her?" The more we let go, the more we de-glamorize the world. The more it is de-glamorized, the less it runs us. ~ David R. Hawkins
Self Reflection quotes by David R. Hawkins
Austen suggests that a gentleman is made, not born - and made only through a process of painful self-reflection and discovery. ~ Emily Auerbach
Self Reflection quotes by Emily Auerbach
You won't find angels in hell, only demons that know how to play with yours. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Self Reflection quotes by Shannon L. Alder
But maybe it's the laboring that gives you shape. Might the most fulfilling times be those spent solo at your tasks, literally immersed or not, when you are able to uncover the smallest surprises and unlikely details of some process or operation that in turn exposes your proclivities and prejudices both? ~ Chang-rae Lee
Self Reflection quotes by Chang-rae Lee
My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery - always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for? ~ Virginia Woolf
Self Reflection quotes by Virginia Woolf
A fundamental error that I have noticed within a lot of independent women, is that by default, they must succeed. If not, their self-reflection in stagnation will overcome them. In striving to succeed immediately, they have failed successfully, and have fallen into the ocean of persistence and fluctuation. But it's not all in vain, for hope is a returning daydream. Unknown to them, their opposite is merely sleeping with time, awaiting the impending song of daybreak's bell. ~ Lionel Suggs
Self Reflection quotes by Lionel Suggs
It seems to me that information is the thing which uses matter, uses light, uses spirit, uses whatever it can put its hands on to organize itself into higher and higher levels of self-reflection. ~ Terence McKenna
Self Reflection quotes by Terence McKenna
Everyone makes mistakes. Whether we put our mistakes to use depends on how deeply we reflect on our actions. It is desirable to reflect until the tears come.
- On Self-Reflection - ~ Kentetsu Takamori
Self Reflection quotes by Kentetsu Takamori
3762
Hence the necessity of getting off the merry-go-round too figure out what is really going on and let your sad feelings tell their own sometimes weird, complex, and long-winded story. ~ Frederick Woolverton
Self Reflection quotes by Frederick Woolverton
Intellectually speaking, people love you with the capacity that they have at that time. ~ Germany Kent
Self Reflection quotes by Germany Kent
All throughout our lives, we selectively draw on selected shavings of life events and reflect upon them through consciousness, creating an arranged catalogue of senses, faculties, and mental activities that compose our personal life story. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Self-reflection entails asking yourself questions about your values, assessing your strengths and failures, thinking about your perceptions and interactions with others, and imagining where you want to take your life in the future. ~ Robert L. Rosen
Self Reflection quotes by Robert L. Rosen
Any beauty you see in me is only a reflection of Him, any ugliness, a reflection of my self. ~ Yasmin Mogahed
Self Reflection quotes by Yasmin Mogahed
When pondering who I am, I write the fiction that I want directly over the facts that I hate. However, what I've discovered is that fiction is written in pencil while facts are in pen. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Self Reflection quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Difficulty creates the opportunity for self-reflection and compassion. ~ Suzan-Lori Parks
Self Reflection quotes by Suzan-Lori Parks
Really good musicians don't think of "self-reflection". ~ Dan Bejar
Self Reflection quotes by Dan Bejar
There's nothing we fear more than our own Reflection. We scream at the monsters within us, hidden deep within our hearts. We run and hide from the terrors all around us- the different mirrors that we see. ~ Solange Nicole
Self Reflection quotes by Solange Nicole
Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me - when I record the details of what I'm going through, whether it's a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I've come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation. ~ Kelly Rowland
Self Reflection quotes by Kelly Rowland
So, what is my concept of a perfect life?

Doing something you love, being in the company of someone you love, while all material needs are satisfied. (Hmmm…sounds almost too simple, yet it does sound like the correct formula for me.)

Let's try to simplify: Enjoyment, Love, Satisfaction.

I truly believe that each of these core elements not only apply to our relationship with others and the world around us, but more importantly to our relationship with our self. That is likely one of the keys to personal fulfillment: enjoying the person you are, loving the person you are and being satisfied with the person you are.

If you are not, something must change before you start worrying about gaps or missing elements regarding your relationship to the world around you. Too often, people go chasing elusive relationships and opportunities, seeking enjoyment, love and satisfaction without first attending to their relationship with their self.

Start with the core, before searching for more. ~ Rob Kozak
Self Reflection quotes by Rob Kozak
Regrets were strange things. The women you lost, the friendships you failed to nurture when only a little effort would have made the difference; the fights you walked away from - good fights, fighting for justice, for wilderness, for peace, all because it would have been a little inconvenient at the time.

Yes, regrets were, indeed, strange things.
Regrets, seasoned with age were the things that denied you the peace of slumber - - that deep sleep that nourishes your soul, not the restive, disquieting sleep of the disappointed and the damned. ~ Wayne D. King
Self Reflection quotes by Wayne D. King
Darkness holds eternal sway over he who cannot first find the light within himself. ~ Melissa McPhail
Self Reflection quotes by Melissa McPhail
The act of gaining true insights from self - reflection is a futile action for most ... as there are easy way out things like self justification, rationalization, delusions and denial which keeps us away from our true self, the inner core and thus we live contented ~ Anubhav Mishra
Self Reflection quotes by Anubhav Mishra
Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself. ~ Lena Dunham
Self Reflection quotes by Lena Dunham
To achieve happiness I advocate four major principles, the principles of love, wisdom, self-reflection, and progress. ~ Ryuho Okawa
Self Reflection quotes by Ryuho Okawa
Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away. ~ Barbara De Angelis
Self Reflection quotes by Barbara De Angelis
A writer's tools are desperation, humiliation, loneliness, love, affection, heartache, happiness, glee, defeat, victory, setbacks, and a desire for personal redemption. People with the experience to know of such things relate that in order to write one must suffer an alleyway of anguish, and experience an array of physical and emotional pain. More than anything else, emotional growth, and writing are each reflective of the immeasurable gain accomplished through studious reflection. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Connecting in sips may work for gathering discreet bits of information, they may work for saying, "I'm thinking about you," or even for saying, "I love you," but they don't really work for learning about each other, for really coming to know and understand each other. And we use conversations with each other to learn how to have conversations with ourselves. So a flight from conversation can really matter because it can compromise our capacity for self-reflection. For kids growing up, that skill is the bedrock of development. ~ Sherry Turkle
Self Reflection quotes by Sherry Turkle
Self-reflection is always an early step to healing, and forgiveness is the soul's sweetest healing. ~ S. Michael Wilcox
Self Reflection quotes by S. Michael Wilcox
History is like self-reflection through the medium of language propelling itself into self-recognition. ~ Terence McKenna
Self Reflection quotes by Terence McKenna
Wisdom is to see the difference between nirvana and this world, this self-reflection that the mind creates. ~ Frederick Lenz
Self Reflection quotes by Frederick Lenz
A man who's discontents were barely known to himself, awakening in middle age to the horror of self-reflection. ~ Philip Roth
Self Reflection quotes by Philip Roth
Self-reflection or autognosis reveals that what is given in consciousness is, first and foremost, integral connectedness and organic unity of all thinking, feeling, and desiring. At the same time, self-reflection reveals that this connected unity is the ultimate reality that can be reached. "Consciousness cannot go behind itself." Whatever we propose to think forms part of this organic unity of our mind and is a result or consequence of it. There is no means of jumping beyond consciousness, and any attempt to explain with the help of any other imaginary system the radical connectedness in which we live and that is our mind would be absurd. Our mind is the very presupposition of all explanation. For to explain a phenomenon means, in the last instance, to point out its place and its part within the living economy of consciousness, and to determine the "meaning" it has in the original source of all meaning: life. ~ Jose Ortega Y Gasset
Self Reflection quotes by Jose Ortega Y Gasset
This self-reflection, this willingness to examine ourselves, to make corrections, to do better, that's part of what makes us Americans. It's part of what sets us apart from other nations, the United States is the most professional, most capable, most cutting-edge intelligence community in the world. ~ Barack Obama
Self Reflection quotes by Barack Obama
Less and less is life animated through personal discovery, intimacy with others, or self-reflection. While life has become more manageable for many people, it has become commensurately less engaged. ~ Kirk J. Schneider
Self Reflection quotes by Kirk J. Schneider
Not a bad thing to know something about darkness. You can't talk about light without some knowledge of darkness. Like your buddy Nietzsche said, 'He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.' Keep that in mind. ~ Kazuki Kaneshiro
Self Reflection quotes by Kazuki Kaneshiro
On the way from mythology to logistics thought has lost the element of self-reflection and today machinery disables men even as it nurtures them. ~ Theodor W. Adorno
Self Reflection quotes by Theodor W. Adorno
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. ~ Peter F. Drucker
Self Reflection quotes by Peter F. Drucker
It all comes back. Perhaps it is difficult to see the value in having one's self back in that kind of mood, but I do see it; I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were. I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be; one of them, a seventeen-year-old, presents little threat, although it would be of some interest to me to know again what it feels like to sit on a river levee drinking vodka-and-orange-juice and listening to Les Paul and Mary Ford and their echoes sing "How High the Moon" on the car radio. (You see I still have the scenes, but I no longer perceive myself among those present, no longer could ever improvise the dialogue.) The other one, a twenty-three-year-old, bothers me more. She was always a good deal of trouble, and I suspect she will reappear when I least want to see her, skirts too long, shy to the point of aggravation, always the injured party, full of recriminations and little hurts and stories I do not want to hear again, at once saddening me and angering me with her vulnerability an ~ Joan Didion
Self Reflection quotes by Joan Didion
A teacher is someone who has taken their mind much further than you have. They've gone into the void further. They've seen the luminous realities. No one has seen them all ... but they've seen more than you have and they understand the trap of self-reflection. ~ Frederick Lenz
Self Reflection quotes by Frederick Lenz
One sees in others the reflection of what one carries within. ~ Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Self Reflection quotes by Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Understand this great truth: The happiness that comes from the pleasures of the world is but a minute reflection of the infinite bliss that comes from within your own Self. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Self Reflection quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
My mind is like a little house,
My peers break into.
They rearrange my furniture,
And the cabinets rifle through.
They throw things out;
They put things in,
And erase the writing on the wall,
And by the time that they walk out,
It's not my mind at all. ~ Margo T. Rose
Self Reflection quotes by Margo T. Rose
Even when presented with evidence of my own productivity I think that the people accusing me of being productive don't know how hard it is for me to just bend my elbow sometimes. ~ Lena Dunham
Self Reflection quotes by Lena Dunham
Self-reflection, or - what comes to the same thing - the urge to individuation, gathers together what is scattered and multifarious and exalts it to the original of the One, the Primordial Man. In this way our existence as separate beings, our former ego nature, is abolished, the circle of consciousness is widened, and because the paradoxes have been made conscious, the sources of conflict are dried up. ~ Carl Jung
Self Reflection quotes by Carl Jung
Perhaps someone may say 'But surely, Socrates, after you have left us you can spend the rest of your life in quietly minding your own business.' This is the hardest thing of all to make some of you understand. If I say that this would be disobedience to God, and that is why I cannot 'mind my own business', you will not believe that I am serious. If on the other hand I tell you that to let no day pass without discussing goodness and all the other subjects about which you hear me talking and examining both myself and others is really the best thing that a man can do, and that life without this sort of examination is not worth living, you will be even less inclined to believe me. Nevertheless, that is how it is, gentlemen, as I maintain; though it is not easy to convince you of it. ~ Socrates
Self Reflection quotes by Socrates
As understanding deepens, the further removed it becomes from knowledge. ~ C. G. Jung
Self Reflection quotes by C. G. Jung
We are all capable of great self-deception when it serves us. ~ Holly Black
Self Reflection quotes by Holly Black
A man cannot un-see the truth. He cannot willingly return to darkness or go blind once he has the gift of sight, anymore than he can be unborn.

We are the only species capable of self-reflection. The only species with the toxin of self-doubt written into our genetic code. Unequal to our gifts we build, we buy, we consume. We wrap ourselves in the illusion of material success. We cheat and deceive as we claw our way to the pinnacle of what we define as achievement; superiority to other men.

But there is a sickness inside us. Rising like the bile that leaves that bitter taste at the back of our throats. We do our best to deny its existence, dealing in lies and distraction. Until one day the body rebels against the mind and screams out… I am not a well man. Only when we know what ails us can we hope to find the cure. ~ Justin Haythe
Self Reflection quotes by Justin Haythe
Questioning this most dearly held core of the Dutch sense of self not only is felt as a direct attack, it also means that the nonbeliever, the antiracist killjoy, is putting himself or herself above "us," which in itself again runs deeply counter to another strand in the Dutch sense of self: "gelijke monnikken, gelijke kappen" (literally, equal monks, equal cowls), which invokes the deep egalitarian strand in Dutch self-representation. Critical self-reflection, moreover and ironically, is a scarce commodity in a culture that delights in imagining itself as "nothing," "just normal" (Ramdas 1998), without specific characteristics, much less infused with deep racializations. The point of not knowing, racial ignorance, and innocence has long passed. ~ Gloria Wekker
Self Reflection quotes by Gloria Wekker
I didn't seem to know anyone as well as I thought I did. But I wonder now if maybe you can't ever truly know another person. Maybe all you can do is hope that one day, you'll know yourself. ~ Sarah Nicole Smetana
Self Reflection quotes by Sarah Nicole Smetana
I admit it. I'm a bully.
I mistreat, ridicule, shame, blame, silence
criticize, embarrass, belittle and beat up
myself on a daily basis. I swear, the only person I have a hard time standing up to...is me. ~ Jason Versey
Self Reflection quotes by Jason Versey
Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself. ~ Cherie Carter-Scott
Self Reflection quotes by Cherie Carter-Scott
I sometimes marvel at how far I've come - blissful, even, in the knowledge that I am slowly becoming a well-evolved human being - only to have the illusion shattered by an episode of bad behaviour that contradicts the new and reinforces the old. At these junctures of self-reflection, I ask the question: "are all my years of hard work unraveling before my eyes, or am I just having an episode?" For the sake of personal growth and the pursuit of equanimity, I choose the latter and accept that, on this journey of evolution, I may not encounter just one bad day, but a group of many. ~ B.G. Bowers
Self Reflection quotes by B.G. Bowers
The shift in American society from admiring Christians to fearing and criticizing them provides an opportunity for self-reflection. How have we been presenting the message we believe in? Might there be a more grace-filled way? ~ Philip Yancey
Self Reflection quotes by Philip Yancey
Before you judge another, ask yourself if what you don't like in them is actually what you don't like in yourself. ~ Joe Vitale
Self Reflection quotes by Joe Vitale
A different path of self-reflection is required if we are interested in the borders rather than the beliefs of Christianity. In my experience - in my conversations with "unbelieving neighbours" - I have learned that Christianity appears quite differently from the borders. Take, ~ Anthony Ledonne
Self Reflection quotes by Anthony Ledonne
Tact by its nature entails staying mum, prudently electing to forgo urging other people to pursue an alternative course of action. Creation of silent spaces in our own life and equitable distribution of periods of respite that allow for periods of equable inner reflection is necessary to spur personal growth. It is equally important to honor other people's intrinsic need for periods of introspection, uninterrupted by unsolicited advice ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Who hasn't asked himself, am I a monster or is this what it means to be human? ~ Clarice Lispector
Self Reflection quotes by Clarice Lispector
I remind myself that too much self-reflection can make even a toadstool fall into a deep slumber. ~ Susan Ornbratt
Self Reflection quotes by Susan Ornbratt
Reflecting on various aspects of our lives is essential for a person to grow and adjust to changing phases in their life. Self-analysis entails examining a person's existing level of self-esteem and documenting the inner voice that speaks to a person, which is frequently either affirming of self-defeating. Failure to periodically engage in self-analysis, make crucial revisions in our personas, and modify our thinking patterns when we encounter transformative events in life can lead to mood disorders, burnout, and other emotional maladies. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
We have so committed ourselves in different ways that we have hardly any time for self-reflection, to observe, to study. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Self Reflection quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Despite what people tell you, what you do for the majority of the day is who you are. For most people, that is their job, and if you're not careful now, if you're not putting your entire effort into every subject to see which ones suit you best, if you're not taking advantage of every opportunity with the time you have right now while you're still young, you'll never have a good understanding of yourself or your gifts. You'll wind up picking a major at college that you don't feel passionate about, because you don't even know what your passion is. ~ Cic Mellace
Self Reflection quotes by Cic Mellace
Life Is an Ambiguous Stimulus

In a very real sense, life is an ambiguous stimulus. Does survival of a heart attack indicate that death is imminent or that one has been given a new lease on life? Is falling in love an assurance of a lifelong partnership or the first sign of an inevitable heartbreak? Many human situations are complex and their meanings subtle. Thus, to make sense of and gain agency over our experiences, we engage in the process of self-reflection.
Through self-reflection, people come to realize that their lives are filled with uncertainty about their own identities, their relationships with others, and their environmental circumstances. Because living involves adaptation to irregular changes and perturbations from the environment, the process of self-reflection reveals the indefinite nature of life. The uncertainty stemming from threatening stimuli whose nature is unknown or unpredictable evokes stress and a sense of loss of control. In response to uncertainty, we are driven to make meaning of our experiences and in so doing to reduce uncertainty. Indeed, a series of cunning experiments demonstrated that the sense of lacking control promotes illusory pattern perception in ambiguous situations. Hence, people consciously or unconsciously attempt to regain a sense of control by projecting patterns onto the chaos of their lives. This meaning-making process hinged on the appraisal of stressors and their meaningful integration into our autobiographica ~ Todd Kashdan
Self Reflection quotes by Todd Kashdan
Self-development requires direct action. Knowledge must precede action. The self's relation to the world must be grounded in reality through ideas and thoughts. Self-reflection and introspection expands our appreciation of life. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Failure is all a matter of perspective. Think of all the people you admire. I guarantee you they all failed at one time or another. The key is to recognize setbacks for what they really are-entry points for learning, not validation that you aren't good enough. After a disappointment analyze your actions, get feedback from friends, and take inventory of what you could do better next time. This type of self-reflection and improvement will ultimately make success inevitable. ~ Jillian Michaels
Self Reflection quotes by Jillian Michaels
I sometimes imagine meeting my seventeen-year-old self. She's still here inside me somewhere. Maybe one morning in the mirror, there she'll be. I look at her with affection and understanding and hope. She sees me and backs away in horror while I try to explain why I made the choices I made. ~ Charles Frazier
Self Reflection quotes by Charles Frazier
The writing life is brutal on a wounded mind. It really is. So much time spent alone. So much time spent in self-reflection. Emotional wounds heal in other people's hearts but you have to reopen yours and examine them in order to re-create their painful feelings on the page. Ugly, twisted, vicious thoughts flitter through other people's minds, but you have to seize yours and hold them to the light in order to understand the soul's shadowy corners. You have to shred your comfortable pieties. You have to tear your illusions to feathers and rags. When you're working well, you become bad company, inward-turning, querulous, obsessed. ~ Andrew Klavan
Self Reflection quotes by Andrew Klavan
Writing was a defeat, it was a humiliation, it was coming face-to-face with yourself and seeing you weren't good enough. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Self Reflection quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Self-reflection is a much kinder teacher than regret is. Prioritize yourself by making a habit of it. ~ Andrena Sawyer
Self Reflection quotes by Andrena Sawyer
The solitary side of our nature demands leisure for reflection upon subjects on which the dash and whirl of daily business, so long as its clouds rise thick about us, forbid the intellect to fasten itself. ~ James Anthony Froude
Self Reflection quotes by James Anthony Froude
We see that in the organic world, to the same degree that reflection gets darker and weaker, grace grows ever more radiant and dominant. But just as two lines intersect on one side of a point, and after passing through infinity, suddenly come together again on the other side; or the image in a concave mirror suddenly reappears before us after drawing away into the infinite distance, so too, does grace return once perception, as it were, has traversed the infinite
such that it simultaneously appears the purest in human bodily structures that are either devoid of consciousness or which possess an infinite consciousness, such as in the jointed manikin or the god. ~ Heinrich Von Kleist
Self Reflection quotes by Heinrich Von Kleist
Practice honest self-reflection to learn and better who you are ~ Jerry Gladstone
Self Reflection quotes by Jerry Gladstone
In that hurry to achieve, I've left little time for self-reflection. And I'm not sure I'm ready for it. ~ Cindy McCormick Martinusen
Self Reflection quotes by Cindy McCormick Martinusen
What if a villain exists in all of us? ~ Aly Zigada
Self Reflection quotes by Aly Zigada
What may be most terrifying is just how real reality television is, after all. We say we watch these shows to feel better about ourselves, to have that reassurance that we are not that desperate. We are not that green. But perhaps we watch these shows because in the green girls interrupted, we see more than anything, the plainest selections of ourselves, garishly exposed but unfettered. ~ Roxane Gay
Self Reflection quotes by Roxane Gay
Democracy as a promise means that society can never be just enough and that the self-reflection and struggles that enable all members of the community to participate in the decisions and institutions that shape their lives must be continually debated, safeguarded, and preserved at all costs. ~ Henry Giroux
Self Reflection quotes by Henry Giroux
I know there are things I haven't survived
I know there are people in this world who have had to work really hard to survive me,
I don't ever want to take that lightly
But I want the heavy to anchor me brave, to anchor me loving, to anchor me in something that will absolutely hold me to my word
When I tell Cupid I intend to keep walking out to the tip of his arrow,
to bend it back towards myself,
to aim for my goodness; 'til the muscle in my chest tears from the stretch of becoming. ~ Andrea Gibson
Self Reflection quotes by Andrea Gibson
Personal ignorance and shallow thoughts led me to misconstrue reality. Instead of taking an occasional respite from meeting work related deadlines and reflecting upon the growth of the inner self, all my personal energy was devoted to efficiently performing daily tasks, responding to the never-ending heave of the external world of busyness. Busy people tabulate the value of their life of work by what they achieved, which can prove meritorious. We can also hide from ourselves by never devoting select intervals of quietness for self-reflection. We need periods of silence and contemplation in order to nurture our spiritual development. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Having no resources within himself, he was compelled to be the copyist of many, and being such, he was forever the victim of inconsistency; ~ Frederick Douglass
Self Reflection quotes by Frederick Douglass
Kids look up to me. I'm not saying I make my music for kids, I do what I feel, its just a self reflection of how I am as a person and it relates to a lot of people. ~ Tyga
Self Reflection quotes by Tyga
Self Reflection Is the Key To Success ~ Marieke Stoop
Self Reflection quotes by Marieke Stoop
Metaphysics is the study of how to shift the self. How to get outside the self-reflection and to just gaze with awe and wonder at the countless universes, the countless celestial radiances of mind, of life, of enlightenment, nirvana, or God, whatever you want to call it. ~ Frederick Lenz
Self Reflection quotes by Frederick Lenz
One of the most wonderful things about Pride and Prejudice is the variety of voices it embodies. There are so many different forms of dialogue: between several people, between two people, internal dialogue and dialogue through letters. All tensions are created and resolved through dialogue. Austen's ability to create such multivocality, such diverse voices and intonations in relation and in confrontation within a cohesive structure, is one of the best examples of the democratic aspect of the novel. In Austen's novels, there are spaces for oppositions that do not need to eliminate each other in order to exist. There is also space - not just space but a necessity - for self-reflection and self-criticism. Such reflection is the cause of change. We needed no message, no outright call for plurality, to prove our point. All we needed was to reach and appreciate the cacophony of voices to understand its democratic imperative. There was where Austen's danger lay. ~ Azar Nafisi
Self Reflection quotes by Azar Nafisi
To separate yourself from your weakness and look at it objectively is a very powerful thing. ~ Russell Simmons
Self Reflection quotes by Russell Simmons
Reading is a dialog with oneself; it is self-reflection, which cultivates profound humanity. Reading is therefore essential to our development. It expands and enriches the personality like a seed that germinates after a long time and sends forth many blossom-laden branches.
People who can say of a book, 'this changed my life' truly understand the meaning of happiness. Reading that sparks inner revolution is desperately needed to escape drowning in the rapidly advancing information society. Reading is more than intellectual ornamentation; it is a battle for the establishment for the self, a ceaseless challenge that keeps us young and vigorous. ~ Daisaku Ikeda
Self Reflection quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
I think self-destructiveness is given a really bad rap. I think it can also mean self-reflection and poetic sensiblity. It can mean empathy, hedonism, a libertarianism. ~ Courtney Love
Self Reflection quotes by Courtney Love
When was it exactly that I became... this? By small degrees, I suppose. One act presses hard upon another, on a path we have no choice but to follow, and each time there are reasons. We do what we must, we do what we are told, we do what is easiest. What else can we do but solve one sordid problem at a time? Then one day we look up and fine we are... this. ~ Joe Abercrombie
Self Reflection quotes by Joe Abercrombie
When the artist finds himself he is lost. The fact that he has succeeded in never finding himself is regarded by Max Ernst as his only lasting achievement. ~ Max Ernst
Self Reflection quotes by Max Ernst
It's not stress that kills people, but how they react to it. ~ Robert Ringer
Self Reflection quotes by Robert Ringer
Writing a memoir is a holistic method of learning and healing by placing responsibility for personal transformation on the spiritual authority of the self. Writing a person's life story is useful to gain a comprehensive understanding regarding a person's maturation, distinctive stages of personal development, and the influences provided by their family and society. The writing processes also serves as a catharsis for painful personal events that a person seeks to integrate into their transmuting being. Writing our personal story, we discover new dimensions of our being. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
They walked back to the chopping block, Claire carrying the crab in her hands. Helen paused. "You know, I'd like to ask you something a friend asked me once, if you don't think it's too personal."
"What is it?"
"What do you do that makes you happy? Just you?"
Claire looked at Helen for a moment and thought, the crab resting on the block beneath her hands.
"I was just wondering," Helen continued. "No one ever asked me when I was your age, and I think it's a good thing to think about."
Claire nodded. Then she took the cleaver and cut the crab into ten pieces. ~ Erica Bauermeister
Self Reflection quotes by Erica Bauermeister
The only personal branding consultant who can ever hope to have a clear understanding of you and your value can be found in the mirror. ~ Ryan Lilly
Self Reflection quotes by Ryan Lilly
Mirrors: they show you what you lack, not what you have. ~ Marty Rubin
Self Reflection quotes by Marty Rubin
Our observer is not affected by emotional ups and downs, our personal life dramas, or by the events of the external world. It is our observer, at the core of our being, that teaches us to let go as we begin identify with it rather than with all the hubbub of our moment-to-moment experience and our mental chatter about it. ~ Marcey Shapiro
Self Reflection quotes by Marcey Shapiro
Emotions are there to enjoy life; but they are not used in self-reflection because they inhibit a proper reflection. They gunk us up. ~ Frederick Lenz
Self Reflection quotes by Frederick Lenz
With the awakening of his emotions, his first perception was a sense of futility, a dull ache at the utter grayness of his life. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Self Reflection quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
City lights shine bright on my complexion,
Self-reflection ... red hairs flashing at the intersection.
Life is a green light, one star, no script,
Supporting actors ... fresh peaches, no pit. ~ Action Bronson
Self Reflection quotes by Action Bronson
At a brunch potluck, I realize that I do, in fact, hate everybody. ~ Lena Dunham
Self Reflection quotes by Lena Dunham
