“Get the Mirror Out.” That is what I say to myself when I observe others doing something that I do not approve, is wrong or just socially unacceptable.
This is a practice I try to do for myself to make sure that I am not doing the very same thing- of which I often am.
Mirrors are good because they return to us an exact image of what we are saying, doing and or being.
In my office, I keep a mirror (this is the one I use) by the side of my computer. I am constantly reviewing that mirror when I am writing emails and talking over the phone and making sure that I am returning an attitude that presents me well. Every time I look in the mirror, I make sure that I am smiling even when times it is hard.
When is the last time you looked at the mirror for a return of your actions? Is the mirror returning positive actions and reactions?

This post was inspired by fellow Toastmasters and bloggers Michelle Green and Becky Durham. I am going to participate in #RethinkChurch #PhotoADay #Lent project for the next 40 days. Today’s word is “return”.
