Do you ever stop to look at yourself in the mirror?
Stop to look through the pretense, to see beyond the veil.
To confront the reality of you or your situation and who you are
To reflect on whether you are living up to your promise.
It’s easy to project whatever is going on inside
It’s easy to make excuses.
It’s easy to complain.
It’s easy to stay just busy enough so you never really have to deal with it.
But truth is like a sword
And the truth often hurts.
It’s hard to face up to the fact your life may seem inadequate
That you haven’t lived up to your own expectations.
That you’re scared
That you’re holding on and can’t let go.
And it’s painful.
But sometimes breaking is the only way to break through.
So give yourself a moment to look at yourself in the mirror and then tell me what you see.
