The Common Denominator by Tamara Angela Grant

Real Quick. Go and get a mirror. Hold it up. Who do you see?

The answer should be You.

It's You staring back, flaws and all.

But who are you really?

The You when no one is looking?

There are two quotes that I govern my relationships with. One from my pastor who said "True character is who you are in times of chaos and crisis" and one from Maya Angelou who said "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

"Those two statements blew my mind, but it sums things up perfectly. It's easy to be a great and loving person when things are good. It's hard to do the same when things aren't going the way you planned.

So who are you really? Are you the type to appear to be helpful and giving, but it's really only to see what you get in return? Are you the fair weather friend- only a good friend when people operate according to your plan, and when they don't, you can't be depended on?

Or Are you the kind that recognizes other's needs and gives because you are blessed to be a blessing? Are you the kind of person who shows their true colors whether all eyes are on you or not?

Hold the mirror up. What do you see?

Peace and Blessings,

Tamara
