"Mirror, Mirror: Who Do You Choose to Be?"

A subtle self- reflection thought

By Jassila Published about a year ago 1 min read

Ever found yourself staring into the depths of your soul through the foggy lens of sadness? Yeah, we've all been there.

But here's a little something to chew on: what if I told you that the person you see in that misty mirror isn't necessarily who you truly are?

You're feeling down, life's thrown a few curveballs your way, and suddenly, you don't recognize the face staring back at you.

It's like trying to see your reflection through a cloud of uncertainty. But fear not, my friends, for clarity is just around the corner.

Think of yourself as that mirror. Sure, there might be moments when the glass is fogged up, but trust me when I say this: those tears that blur your vision?

They're just temporary residents. They'll pack up and leave, making way for a clearer perspective.

Now, here's the catch: who you see in that mirror isn't solely defined by who you were yesterday or who you are today.

No, dear! It's all about who you're becoming.

Growth isn't about erasing your past; it's about embracing it, learning from it, and using it to sculpt the masterpiece that is you.

So, let me pose a question: who do you choose to be? Not who you think you should be based on your past mistakes or your current struggles, but who you genuinely aspire to become.

That, my friends, is your true reflection.

It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of self-doubt and comparison, but remember this: your journey is uniquely yours.

Embrace the highs, learn from the lows, and keep your eyes fixed on the person you most wish to be. Because in the end, that's all that truly matters.

So, wipe away the fog, my fellow travelers, and take a good, long look in the mirror.

Who knows? You might just catch a glimpse of the incredible person you're destined to become.
