Take a Look In the Mirror!
Do you ever just take a good look at yourself in the mirror? I mean just stop what you’re doing and look? I’ll be honest, sometimes it is very hard to look at myself, see blemishes and not try to cover up or justify them. I don’t want others to see my faults or failures. …
