You might be introspective today which could cause you to look within yourself and contemplate your past and how it has affected you. Reflecting on what has happened and how that has shaped who you are can be a wonderful exercise in coming to a deeper understanding of the universe's plan for you. While your life path may not seem obvious at first, in looking back you might be able to see certain patterns in the way things have happened. Without judging or criticizing yourself, perhaps today you can imagine that you are connecting the dots of your past, putting them into a complete picture of your present life. Using this picture of your life you might not only help you to find deeper insights into your past but also let you envision how your future may unfold as well.

Pondering where we have been allows us to see where we are headed. Unless we take the time to think about our past, our life can seem disjointed -- rather than seeing things as a continuing process of our overall growth, the things that have happened to us might seem random and incoherent. When we consciously reflect on our past, however, we begin to see patterns that emerge – things that might not seem obvious at first but which, upon further consideration, come into much clearer focus the more we look at them. By searching your past today, you will discern patterns in your actions that will, in turn, help you to live your life more fully.
