be yourself

a friend gave me this lovely pocket mirror with wilde's classic quote. i put the mirror in my purse and completely forgot about it.

yesterday, on my walk home from work (after a long day and a long week), i found this treasure while looking for something else. and i smiled at the serendipity: a found mantra, right when i needed it.

this saying has many meanings. for me, this week, i pressed too hard--tried to be the best teacher ever and a social director and a counselor. really, all i needed to be was myself; when that happens, everything else falls into place. the more me i am (really me, not ego me), the more genuine, helpful, and kind are my interactions.

(now you: mantra)
