For better or worse I have always been an introspectionist. I try to look at myself from the view of an observer. I examine my own mental, emotional state, and mental processes. Simply put, I look within myself. I do this frequently to evaluate who I am and what I really want and to know my true purpose in life.
I do this late at night when there are no interruptions and I allow whatever time I choose. Often I extend my observations over several days or even months and yes, years. I will close my eyes and try to visualize different courses I might take and predict all the possible ramifications of my actions. Of course it is impossible to predict unexpected outcomes, but the exercise of stillness, breathing, and listening to my heart and mind is comforting to me. I wonder if there are other introspectionists out there who do similar self observations and evaluations to find themselves?
Words are like seeds. When you write them out, they grow into your dreams and spark the imagination of others.
