Who are you?

The other evening I happened upon a shameless summer replacement show on television called ‘True Beauty”. While the show has many flaws, the gist is that contestants, while in pursuit of a prize, are knowingly and unknowingly recorded in real and “set-up” activities. As part of the judging process for determining if the contestants are “True Beauty” inside and out, the contestants are replayed hidden camera recordings of their interactions with others. While some of their recorded activities show them to be caring and charitable, other footage is truly embarrassing. Contestants saw how they responded to compromising and delicate situations. The interesting thing is that they all had flaws. Good to know right! Sometimes our behaviors betray us. We think we are one type of person but our behaviors portray us as a different person.

The most important thing to remember is that you get to decide, through your behaviors, who you really are. Think about ALL your interactions with others. Could your life hold up to the scrutiny of the hidden camera? All we can do is be really observant of our own behavior. Be your own hidden camera. Make you own choices.The hope is that over time your choices will get better.
