One of the constant questions I employed whenever I worked with a group or organization was “what have we learned in the past few months.”This pause and reflection often brought great insights and was the foundation for alternate goals and new paradigms. i believe that the question is valid for our personal lives as well. Being mired in habits and repetitive behavior it is worthwhile to stop and ask ourselves what we have learned and what are the implications of that knowledge?.There are times when we will gather even from a situation or a time period when things are not going well that there are choices and opportunities in the midst of the difficulties. Some of the best moments in my life came when I explored the problems and wound up discovering terrific new challenges.
