A challenge to my new friends in FGB (in the form of a Poem I wrote )

Be Honest with Yourself There comes a time for most of us To Perform perform a self exam An inventory of to speak Of who I really am Loving, Kind, Dependable Does this my life reflect Gossip, Selfish, Negatively These traits do I deflect Does the voice I use at home Belie who I say to be And when I don't get my way, What does my family see Not an easy surgery This act of self dissection No anesthesia made of yet For truthful introspection

Thanks for sharing! Introspection can indeed be difficult. I've found working with a coach has helped me because she is able to offer up an outside eye which can make introspection less difficult and helps reveal things that you may not see about yourself.

Because of stuff going on in my personal life, it’s been ongoing to be taking honest reviews of myself. Some days it’s like a tooth being pulled without Novocain.
