Mirrors
Mirrors
There is a certain kind of knowledge only you carry - and it’s the story of your evolution as a person. Who you were, who you are now, and who you are becoming. Many of those we meet only see a slice of you at a specific moment in time. Their view of you is inherently limited. Let me repeat, their view of you is inherently limited.
Would you ever look at yourself through a broken mirror?
After all, it is your feet that have walked your path. Your personal evolution is like a compass, directing one step to the next.
I am a person who needs to feel like I’m moving in a direction - that I’m building towards something. I once had a friend who would cut out small pieces of paper, and write “I make a difference,” on each one. Every morning, they ripped off this note and placed it in their pocket. A personal practice of self-affirmation. A quiet yet revolutionary act of finding meaning for themselves, like a whisper in their ear all day long.
And mirrors…they can be deceiving. I hope for all of us to put down distorted lenses and broken mirrors of others' limited understandings for ourselves.
You hold the knowledge of who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming, and that is your power.
So please, lead the way…
