The Model and the Mirror

There is a construct of human experience that I have long been aware of. I call it "the Model and the Mirror".

The Model is an ideal that we wish to emulate, who we want to be, how we want to act. And of course the Mirror is the reflection of who we are today, how we act right now. These two concepts work together to guide us on the path to where we need to go. I see this construct all around me, in a variety of guises. 

Never forget we have blind spots, constantly be on guard for them, and make sure to catch a glance of yourself in the Mirror from time to time to help you find and overcome them.
