Today is National Face Yourself Day
When I was a young person, I read a quote from Lord Chesterfield to his son: essentially, whatever you do, do it well. Having low self-esteem and at the same time experiencing external high expectations, I was often struggling within myself. This lasted through my life until I figured out that the solution could only come from turning those external forces into internal measures of personhood. I determined the yardstick, and I had to measure myself by it.
