The eyes in the mirror

This is easier said than done. It's actually pretty lofty advise to give anyone who isn't ready to take accountability for their life's journey. 

Through no fault of your own, or through a fault of your own, you formed an opinion about yourself that has become a way of life. It was said or done, so therefore it must be. The beauty of life is that you have the power to undo whatever doesn't fit with who you know you are supposed to be.

It has nothing to do with "what" you are supposed to be, but everything to do with who you are supposed to be. A huge difference there. How you make your living is not who you are. How you present yourself to the world is not necessarily who you are. How you look at yourself in the mirror each day IS who you are. Denying it, faking it, hating it won't change what you see there. It's not the body image that you refute. It's the eyes looking back at you that you give the lie to.

If you tell the image in the mirror all the things you don't like about it, you are lying. If you tell the image in the mirror all the things you love about it, you are telling the truth. The one lying is your ego, the one telling the truth is your soul. Profound, right?

Your ego or your soul are what forms your mindset. When you can understand that there are two options for how you can proceed with your day you are able to move forward with a mindset. Do you want to hear the lies, or do you want to hear the truth about yourself? That's where the work begins for you to find out who you are. Truth or lies, either way you are accountable for how you trust either of them. <3
