When you look in the mirror what do you see? Some don’t like their reflection. Some try to change what they see with make-up, tattoos and so-on. Under all that it’s still you in the reflection.
That is the part many fail to see. We let others dictate so much in our lives. Be-it what we wear, how we look, how we act or talk. We have to get to the point where we are behind the wheel stirring our path.
I was told at an early age you will look good if you put on weight, then when I added weight I was told you’re too heavy. I was made fun of for what I could afford to wear. In the morning, during the day and at the end of each night those people weren’t the ones I saw when I looked in the mirror. I grew to accept and appreciate who I was and what my reflection was.
The first person who has to believe in you, is yourself. You can chase approval from others but you will soon regret that path. There are others on the same path as you, be open to allowing others in and being yourself, as well as letting others be who they are.
Once you stop trying to see what others think you should look like and truly see your reflection you will enjoy the journey a lot more. At the end of the day when you smile in front of a mirror, you will see a smiling face looking back at you.
Enjoy YOUR day and what you see in you’re REFLECTION!
