The Mirror Of Truth

There really should come a time in your life when you decide it is time to look in the mirror and ask yourself some serious questions.

• Am I happy.

• Do I like the person looking backing at me.

• Am I proud of the person looking back at me.

• Do I have the right people around me that help me thrive.

It is only by asking these types of questions of yourself that you can begin to seek to be a better version of yourself.

What is the payoff by living your life the way you currently do. Do you thrive on creating drama.

Do you make others laugh by constantly telling them bad things about others (which incidentally aren't actually true).

There just has to come a point in your life where you wonder if you are thriving or struggling.

• Do you even like yourself as a person.

• Do you think you come across as likeable to others.

• Do you love yourself.

• Do you find yourself complaining all the time and lashing out at the world.

• Does the world make you angry.

• Do you want to punch everyone in the face if you could get away with it.

• Are you a victim in your life.

Are you desperately distracting yourself every day with working hard, watching TV, drinking, drugs, scrolling on social media and so on. All so that you don't have to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself these questions.

Does the truth scare you. Would you rather pretend that you live in fantasy land where everyone loves you, knowing deep down, you're actually a bit of an asshole.

What actions are you taking in your life that don't serve you or others.

Do others fear you at work. They do everything they can to appease you (by lying to your face) because they don't want to lose their job. Everyone around you is fake.

They won't tell you the truth about yourself because they know you'll explode. You'll cry and throw your toys out your cot (so to speak). You'll act like a child.

Because that is exactly what you are doing. You are you not acting and being an adult.

You are still a child, running around the playground being the school bully. Shouting, screaming, punching, doing everything you can so that you don't have to stop.

Because when you stop, then those inner thoughts come. And they challenge you. They question who you are. They question what are you doing with your life. The seek to find the truth.

And by God, the truth is the one thing in this world you cannot face.

You blame the world for how you are. You blame your circumstances. You blame others. Because that is much easier than blaming yourself.

That is much easier than realising and understanding that taking responsibility for your actions means you have to make changes.

You have to have deep conversations with yourself and your loved ones to uncover the truth.

Because it is only when you start doing this and seek help from others that you can start to give yourself hope of truly living a fulfilled life.

One full of joy and happiness and not anger and hate.

You will never be ready for this conversation so do not wait for tomorrow.

For tomorrow will never come. It needs to happen today. It needs to happen now.

You need to go and look in the mirror now and ask these questions of yourself. Start your journey to inner peace, happiness and joy now.

Seek to thrive and not struggle. Seek to live in your truth. Seek a more fulfilling life.
