A few years ago when I traveled to New Zealand to do a conference, I stayed in a hotel in Christchurch. One evening I was thirsty and started looking for a Coke machine. When I couldn\u2019t find one and I saw a door marked \u201cStaff,\u201d I figured I\u2019d go in and see if anyone in there could help me. I didn\u2019t find a hotel worker or a drink machine there, but I did observe something interesting. As I approached the door to go back out into the hall, I found that the door had a full-length mirror with the following words: \u201cTake a good look at yourself. This is what the customer sees.\u201dThe hotel\u2019s management was reminding employees that to fulfill their purpose, they needed to take a look at themselves.
\nAnd that\u2019s true for us too.Psychotherapist Sheldon Kopp believes \u201call the significant battles are waged within the self.\u201d As we examine ourselves, we discover what those battles are. And then we have two choices. The first is to be like the man who visited his doctor and found out he had serious health issues. When the doctor showed him his X-rays and suggested a painful and expensive surgery, the man asked, \u201cOkay, but how much would you charge to just touch up
\nthe X-rays?\u201d
\nThe second choice is to stop blaming others, look at ourselves, and do the hard work of resolving the issues that are causing us problems. If you want to have better relationships with others, then stop, look in the mirror, and start working on yourself.<\/p>\n
