Mirrors

I am not ever that excited about clothes shopping. First of all, I am impatient and can always think of about one hundred things I would rather be doing. Second of all, except for the Nordstrom’s in Burlington, the lighting is awful and the mirrors make me look fat. I stand there looking at myself, shaking my head and wondering how I got to this point.

And that brought me to this. I was thinking today about how much of each of us is invested in the esteem of other people.  We are all reflected in the eyes of others, and like it or not that helps to craft what we think of ourselves- and that can mean the difference between storming forward full of piss and vinegar or rolling over and going back to sleep.

So the point is, you have to find good mirrors. Surround yourself with people whose opinions you value, and use them as a buffer against the rest.

And toss in a little smoke if you need to.
