I was reading this book, Life Lessons for Women,and the author had suggested that at some stage in our life, we need toreevaluate our position, in what she termed as Life Review.
This aroused my interest as I reckon this will help me recognise who I am and the path that has led me to where I am today.
Theauthor, Stephanie Marston had said, "Although your life must be livedby moving forward, it is best understood by recognizing what you havealready lived through and how far you've come. Just as yourfingerprints identify your unique physical makeup, your life choiceswill reveal the person who did all the living - your self."
Itis important to assess yourself in order for you to know yourself moreintimately. Stephanie had suggested we divide our life into decades.
Personally,I would have preferred to term it as Life's Predictable Rails. A womanusually goes through life's predictable rails, and stoppingat the usual stations, i.e. birth, childhood, work, marriage,motherhood. Is my rail predictable? I would say Yes, and No.
It'sreally fascinating, mesmerizing and enthralling when you pull out yourold photo albums and look at pictures of yourself during the differentstations of your life. It's wonderful to trace your life back to thedifferent platforms you were on in Life's Rails.
Sometimes life affords you many choices... but in the end is it yourchoice, or is there a switch operator somewhere who has you on apredetermined path... On what track will you enter the station?
