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.
