Reflection in the Mirror

Of late, I find myself getting tagged by friends who want me to complete some kind of random surveys in one form or another. Some of the questions posed range from quirky to the very personal. While I have been giving some tongue-in-cheek answers, here is one that I suppose I find most meaning. Those of you who read John Maxwell will know where the questions come from.

It's the Mirror Test
(so even if you do not like looking at yourself physically in the mirror, you can perhaps at least mirror the recesses of your heart and mind)
See if you can answer the following questions.

1. How self-aware am I of myself?
2. Am I able to get along with myself?
3. What image do I have of myself?
4. Do I like me?
5. Am I able to admit my own faults & shortcomings?
6. How can I change to improve myself?
7. Do I believe I can make a difference?
8. Am I my own best friend?
9. Do I take responsibility for myself?
10. Where are my blind spots?

I think we all need to realise that the 1st person we need to examine is ourselves. We all have days where battles are waged within our own heads and hearts. The dilemmas set in when we allow the two to keep on fighting as two separate entities.

I hope that some of you will be interested enough to pick up take a good look in the mirror, and answer these questions...there may not be prizes for right or wrong answers, but there will be rewards you can reap at the end of the exercise. Trust me. (It's a lot better than doing the ipod shuffle quiz!)
