3rd Practice: Idea #572

The final growth practice might seem like a step back, like you’re not really doing anything. However, ‘The third growth practice is to think daily and apply what you have learned. Evaluated experience is the best teacher. Reflection turns experience into insight. After a new experience, ask yourself “What did I love? What did I learn?” and you will grow. Sustained thinkers look for a better, bigger, deeper answer.’ (J.Maxwell) In today’s busy world we seldom take enough time to stop and reflect and think about our experiences. It takes time to ask ourselves “what have I learned”, and then find a way to apply that to future actions.
