When you look at yourself in the mirror, proverbial or otherwise, what do you see in the reflection looking back at you?
Do you see a person that you’re happy with, and wouldn’t swap for the world, or do you see a percentage of that happiness?
Do you see a person who is everything you want to be, or do you see a work in progress where sometimes the work is more needed than the progress?
I don’t know what I see. Sometimes it’s a little A, other times it’s a little B. Never one more than the other, at least for any prolonged period of time. Maybe that’s normal.
I know I don’t always like who I am, but I’m trying to be better.
I say things and do things I always regret later, but I’m trying to be better.
I advocate for many things but don’t always follow through on that myself, but I’m trying to be better.
I teach my kids to be good people, yet sometimes my own words to others don’t come from a good place, but I’m trying to be better.
I know who I want to be. I’m not always that person.
But I’m trying to be better.
