Man in the Glass Poem

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
In the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say

For it isn’t your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The one who’s verdict count most in your life
Is staring back from the glass

You may be like Jack Horner, and chisel a plum
And think you’re a wonderful guy
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye

He’s a fellow too please never mind all the rest
For he’s with you clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glasses is your friend

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass

COT: my oldest daughter (6th grade) is on a multi day trip to OC for a future leaders conference. It’s an honor to be there so I could not be more proud. But it is still odd to not have her in the house. I know we need to let them spread their wings and fly but damn if that isn’t hard to do!

COT:
Q talked about the shame cycle and how to avoid it. It starts by telling ourselves that we are bad people whenever we make a mistake, this leads to hiding, building a facade of perfection but never addressing the original mistake. We can flip that around by telling ourselves “I am not proud of that, but this is an opportunity to improve myself” and following up with action to fix/make amends.
