I look into the same mirror everyday.  I see the exact same face.

So, why is it that some days I am very happy with what I see and other days I hate looking at the reflection?

In order to combat this feeling I wrote myself a message on the mirror.  The message reads "Everything you see will one day be dust."

What it means is that basing self image on something that is so impermanent as the human body is like building a house on sand.  It is important for all of us to base our self worth on who and what we really are. When we put our bodies and physical life aside and when we push our thoughts away we can see who and what we really are. 

What we are is perfect, beautiful, and eternal.  I love all of you.



What do you guys think?

Dr. G. - I like that.

But also know the mirrors are notorious liars.
