The TAILORED METAPHOR Volume 3: Self-Reflection and Cave Diving

Self-reflection is like cave diving.

For one thing, you cannot see what is inside the cave from the surface, there are definitely risks involved with diving in, and you have to make sure you are safe getting out.

On the other hand, though, there is immense unique beauty to be found in the cave that can bring you such tranquility and empowerment.

To take the plunge, you must have a support team of some kind on the surface as well as the mental “gear” to keep yourself feeling safe during the expedition.

So many people are scared to deeply self-reflect because they don’t know what they will find or if they will be able to get themselves back out of it.

It is helpful to remember that it is YOUR CAVE we are talking about, so there is always a way out if you want there to be.

How do you feel about self-reflection?
