Moments D147: Self-Reflection - Setting up a Profile

You know, every now and then one needs to stop and take stock of who they are, what they want, and where they are going. Today I had that moment as I was setting up a new profile of me. I’ve had many moments in the past year where I’ve had to stop and think about who I was, but today, today was nitty and gritty. I needed to really find out what was unique and marketable about myself. What makes me stand out from the crowd.

This is not an easy moment. First there is the panic that I’m just like everyone else. There’s nothing special. Nothing worth barking about. Then there is the spark of hope. Maybe a little of this, or a touch of that makes me special. It’s still not gang busters, but it’s better than the darkness of nothingness. And then, the flow of that light spreads. You realize that there are pieces of you that are unique and might be important to someone looking for those attributes.

All of a sudden your profile comes together. The words you found to describe yourself sound (almost) impressive. Is that really you? Is that really your history and perspective on life? Hmmm. I guess it is. Not bad. Not bad at all.

And definitely worth a smile and today’s shared moment with you!

Moments of reflection.

Moments of believing in self.
