Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Self-Perceptions
Sometimes during a conversation we may be asked to describe ourselves. Do we know how to answer the question? We may have never taken time to think about our self-perceptions and will describe ourselves by what we do for a living which is only one small element of who we are as a total person. At other times someone may have a made a comment that has us given us pause to consider if we have ever perceived ourselves in the way they have described us. It may be a side of ourselves that we have taken for granted as being just part of who we are; nothing special. If we take time for introspection we may find that our self-perceptions may become clearer and less critical. When we learn to recognize our strengths, weakness , our dreams and goals we will have a clearer picture of ourselves a total person; what we need to work on, what to value and what perception we need to let go of. In time we grow and expand our self-perception to embrace the person that others have known was there all along. Please feel free to share, if you are so inspired. Picture taken by T. Corman
