From the Quote of the Week Files for February 25, 2008

Yes, It is the Quote of the Week! Pormoting Cosmic Wisdom at Bargain Basement Prices! This week's quote is on Reflection, actually Self Reflection!
__________

"Man need only divert his attention from searching for the solution to external questions and pose the one, true inner question of how he should lead his life, and all the external questions will be resolved in the best possible way."

Leo Tolstoy
__________

And speaking of reflection, the practice of Naikan (a Japanese word which means "inside looking" or "introspection" or "seeing oneself with the mind's eye") offers 3 questions to structure a self-reflection exercise...

What have I received from others?
What have I given to others or given back to others?
What trouble and bother have I caused them?

I think I will try this this week!
__________

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic....

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

Confucius

Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!
