Reflections Know Yourself Journal

by Craig Forgrave

When you reach a turning point in your life like I have, whether it is an illness or other major life event, you need detailed introspection to learn who your truly are and what is important to you. I have grouped journal entries into key categories to spark your imagination, writing about dreams, sacrifice, freedom, fun, friendship, faith, habits, motivation and other key elements in knowing yourself. Start writing now, blow you mind, let the fireworks explode into ideas and insights hiding in your synapses and inner subconscious mind. I started taking pictures using a feature in my camera that could mirror a picture horizontally or vertically, providing true reflections of what I experienced. I have included pictures to help jog your imagination, as your core values and drivers are not obvious, but hidden deep like the images from nature I have added in this journal. I urge you to look back and move forward by writing your thoughts as you sit on a park bench or quietly in a comfortable chair in your home. Know yourself is the most complex action you can undertake, diving under the routine of daily life to explore the deeper layers of meaning that guide your actions and the "future you" waiting to be revealed. To know yourself is how you liberate who you are and what you can be! This paperback is formatted to easily add your thoughts in the various categories. If you purchase the paperback, it includes the ebook version for free.
