Stepping back
Imagine that you can a step back from yourself, far enough
back to get a good, objective look at the way you are. What
do you think you would see?<P>
You already know what it's like to be you from the inside.
Think for a moment how it would be to encounter you from the
outside.<P>
Consider how your words, your actions and your priorities
look when viewed objectively. Think of the advice you would
want to give if you were to observe yourself for a while
from the outside.<P>
Stand back and watch the way you spend your time. Look
closely at what really works for you, and at what really
doesn't.<P>
Though it is unwise to become obsessed with what others
think of you, it is smart to regularly consider your life
from an objective viewpoint. It can give you a new
appreciation for your strengths and will help to point out
areas where you can make valuable improvements.<P>
In your imagination, every now and then, take a step back,
and then take a good look. See yourself with objective eyes,
and discover new ways to make life better and better.<P>
