At the cusp of new beginnings many of us take time to reflect on our lives by looking back over the past and ahead into the future. We ponder the successes, failures and standout events that are slowly scripting our life\u2019s story. This process of self reflection helps maintain a conscious awareness of where we\u2019ve been and where we intend to go. It is pertinent to the organization and preservation of our dreams, goals and desires.<\/p>\n
