Reflection technique...which will you chose??

I'm a facebook member that loves the fact I am able to keep in contact with not only old classmates but also my distant relatives.  I do sometimes find the posts to be 'painful'....yes painful.  Two out of five posts lately are about the way another person may see you and how you should not worry about it...yadda, yadda, yadda.  WTH?  With all the daily blessings we are granted including the ability to wake up and begin a day I find this to be upsetting.  Not that we aren't all judged because we are and it isn't always right but reputation is important on a certain level.  It appears these posts are becoming excessive and it is something to think about.

There was a time in my own life that I could find fault with everyone.  My actions were always based on another person's actions or my failure was always based on the lack of another individuals actions.  Justification is what my mommy calls it and it is unacceptable is what she finally told me.  We all make mistakes in life and there comes a time that we must all own them.  With owning your mistakes you also accept the reputation that may follow that action until you prove otherwise. 

To help myself I learned the 'reflection technique' because it can't always be someone else.  There are expectations that I'm to live up to and it was time that I not look at the faults of others or blame others for my own mistakes or fault them for their opinion but look into the mirror at myself.  Each time we look into a mirror we have two choices....look at that which is behind us including others or look at the one reflection that is looking back at you...SELF!!  Which one will you choose in order to succeed.....I choose ME and my growth with God's help began then.  Try it!
