Our Personality Resides in Association Not Isolation (post by Kirk Weisler)

Our oldest daughter Brit just sent this quote today… I really liked it.

“In order to know oneself, no amount of introspection or self-examination will suffice. You can analyze yourself for weeks, or meditate for months, and you will not get an inch further–any more than you can smell your own breath or laugh when you tickle yourself.  You must first be open to the other person before you catch a glimmering of yourself.   Our self-reflection in a mirror does not tell us what we are like; only our reflection in other people.

We are essentially social creatures, and our personality resides in association, not in isolation.”

Reminded me of Julie B. Beck’s “Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself and you will grow.”

Love Ya, Brit

Thanks Brit… Dad out.  🙂  Enjoy your weekend… and for those of you who may be celebrating Father’s Day here is a fun clip that I think does a wonderful job of doing just that.
