Dancing in front of the mirror...

Narcissus was a mythical Greek youth who pined away in love for his own image in a pool of water and was transformed into the flower that bears his name. 

It is so easy to get pulled into the pool of self admiration.  Facebook and You-tube all drag us into the world of "hey look at how great I am".  It's hard to resist dancing in the mirror because it's just so impressive to see ourselves on a screen.

What are your thoughts?  I find myself dancing in the mirror too.   How should we handle our Narcissistic tendencies?

Good, Gracious, and Grateful
