how did

you get here?

You work HARD.

Or maybe

you DON'T?

Either way,
It is time to reflect

It is time to think about
what you have accomplished,

what the result and impact
of your efforts has been,

put all that material together,
and look damn good
in front of a mirror,

because if you expect
to do all those things,

this is going to require a drink*

But really, what is it to "reflect"?
How do I know if I am doing it right?

And,

If advertising has taught me anything,

Why should I care?

*non-drinking reflection also encouraged

Use the orange dot, silly!

It reveals those things that are too close for you to see.
It is that little bit of mirror image below every iPhone that makes you say, "Ooooooo shiny…"
Recognizing it separates humans from most animals.
It is the reason your friend keeps looking off to the side while you are talking to them.
It was the source of the Ugly Duckling's revelation.
It forces people to put makeup on and drive at the same time.
It's you, trapped in a plane of silence and mimicry.
Learning from it is wise and dwelling over it is shallow.
For some reason, you need it to brush your teeth.
It can be false, but only if you create the lie and believe it.
If you don't have one, you might want to avoid sunlight.
