The Mirror
(You are Grrrreat!)
Who do you see when you look in the mirror?
The answer to that question is the answer to most questions in your life. Are you looking for purpose? Well, what is the person in the mirror capable of if given a chance? Are you looking for a relationship? Well, what does the person in the mirror bring to the table? Are you looking for more money? Well, does the person in the mirror deserve more money?
Who do you see when you look in the mirror?
Do you see someone who needs more muscle or less weight? Do you see someone with glaring faults? Do you see someone who doesn’t quite match up to the ideal you have in your mind? Do you see someone who is too old or not old enough? Do you see someone who doesn’t fit in and has been hurt?
You’ve been looking in that mirror all of your life. You’ve seen you laugh and you’ve seen you cry. You’ve seen you sleepy and you’ve seen you wired. You’ve seen you sick and you’ve seen you not giving a damn. BUT what does the person in the mirror really want?
The person in the mirror doesn’t need your judgement, just your acceptance. The person in the mirror doesn’t need your snarl, just your smile. The person in the mirror wants you to be the cheerleader. The person in the mirror gets enough grief from the world, yours is unnecessary and unwanted. The person in the mirror wants to be loved more than anything in the world and the person in the mirror wants your love more than anything in the world.
The person in the mirror can and will accomplish anything with your support. The person in the mirror just needs you to believe that it is possible. The person in the mirror needs you, your attention, your kindness, your compassion, your love. How you see the person in the mirror defines your life, your world. Do you want a better, happier life? Give the person in the mirror forgiveness and love and a moment or two of calm reflection.
