Page 43 move beyond your limiting beliefs Uline page 53 reflection turns experience into insight. Truthfully, experience is not the teacher of all things but evaluated experience is the teacher of all things. Experience is only as good as the reflection that you have afterwards.

— from The Mind in the Cockpit · 15 invaluable laws of growth by John Maxwell.

In the book

You cannot force it by gripping harder; the great realizations tend to arrive when the brain is relaxed, solitary, and at peace, which is why you should actually schedule the daydreaming and the walks. Reflection is the machine that turns raw experience into insight — experience alone teaches nothing; reflected-upon experience teaches everything. Insight favors the prepared mind, coming to the one who has already done the patient work and is now, at last, at rest; and much of clear thinking is subtraction, since knowing what to leave out matters every bit as much as knowing what to focus on. […] Watch your emotions as they rise and name them in the moment, which slips a sliver of space between the feeling and whatever you do about it. Schedule the conditions for insight. Since the best realizations arrive when the mind is relaxed and unhurried, build in the walk, the shower, the daydream; and turn experience into wisdom by actually reflecting on it, rather than just accumulating it. Adopt the growth mindset deliberately. Learn to hear the voice of the fixed mindset — you can't, you're not good enough, don't risk looking stupid — and answer it with the word yet. […] Feed your mind well, because what goes in becomes what you have to think with. Reflect, so that your experience becomes wisdom and not just mileage. And aim, above all, for what the old teachers called the highest reward of a whole life — not riches, not even being right, but a tranquil mind, one finally free of fear and at rest in itself. — The Mind in the Cockpit

If the storms are generated inside, so is the calm — and the instrument that produces it is honest self-reflection. This is why the relationship with yourself matters so much: without reflection, you will never change, never improve, never become all that you could be. Experience alone does not teach you; it is evaluated experience that teaches — reflection is the thing that turns raw experience into insight. Confucius ranked the three roads to wisdom: reflection, which is noblest; imitation, which is easiest; and experience, which is the bitterest. — The Relationship With Yourself (Traits/Reflection)
