The older we get, the more we tend to look back and reflect and that can be good or bad. But the Law of Cause and Effect states that if you put out good thoughts accompanied by good actions, you will receive good things.
Asking yourself thought-provoking questions cultivates good thoughts and allows for self-reflection.
It actually helps you to maintain a conscious awareness of where you are, where you have been and where you intend to go.
Through self reflection you are able to see, organise and preserve your dreams, desires and goals.
This conscious awareness is vital in life and opens doors for many good things to come your way.
