These are the two most valuable tools for developing your skills. Purposeful Reflection helps you figure out what you have learned.

Focus on the things that happened, and understanding why some things worked and some did not.

Wisdom
Wisdom is hard to define. And, it's harder still to acquire. When I wrote a book about how to become wise, called 'Smart to Wise' ( I learned something when I was researching it. The people whom others regard as wise do one thing systematically. They reflect on their experiences and try to understand them.

These are the people whom others look to for pointers to difficult decisions, for advice, and inspiration. Wouldn't you want to be seen as wise one day?

Get Wisdom
If you do, start a practice of purposeful reflection. Spend time thinking about what has happened and how it came about.

• What decisions did you make?
• How did you make them?
• How did they turn out?
• What events made a difference?
• How did they influence things?
• What indications were there, before they happened?

It's the end of the year
It's the end of the year soon. You may have done your goal-setting for next year. Or you may be planning to do it soon. Perhaps you don't plan to do it (but that would be a mistake).

Equally important - and maybe more important - it's time to reflect the last year.
Set aside a good hour so you can do some quality thinking. Look back over the last year. Think about the events, big and small. The choices you made. How things worked out. And what can you learn from them.

Above all, it's the purposeful reflection that matters.
It matters far less whether you make lots of notes or none. Even whether you draw profound conclusions or feeble insights. Trust that, if you direct your attention, your mind will find something golden amongst the rubble.\n
