I think a good measure of what’s going on in your life is this question: “If someone wanted to learn about you with a reasonable degree of accuracy, who would you prefer they speak to – besides yourself?”
That’s a question worth thinking about. Who knows you well enough that you’d trust that they would present you accurately to a stranger? Who possesses the combination of reasonably intimate knowledge and respect necessary for such a portrayal?
Your answer to this question likely shows a lot about your focus in life; where you’re putting the energy in your relationships. The person who knows you best – what role do they play in your life? Are they a parent, a spouse, a child? A trusted best friend? A mentor or coworker?
Your bartender? Your barber? Your therapist?
Give it some thought – and reflect on what changes you’d like to make to your relationships.
