Reflection and self-honesty

From A New Day: 365 Meditations for Personal and Spiritual Growth: “Rigorous self-honesty is essential to recovery and spiritual growth” (p. 288). I would say something similar is true for districts attempting to grow. Rigorous self-honesty is essential for growing, whether from fair to good, good to great, or great to excellent. Without such straightforward reflection, we can get caught up in rationalizing actions instead of digging deeper for the true motives for the actions.

This has to be a continuous process (going back to doing the little things consistently) if we are to improve.
