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.
