Embracing YOU: The Reflection of YOU

Embracing YOU: The Reflection of YOU

The Reflection of YOU

Who do you see when you look in the mirror? Is who you see in the reflection before you the true reflection of you, or are you looking at an image that portrays an expectation of all you think you should be?

What is your perception of yourself? Are you the image of your own perception, a deception brought about by thoughts of what you should be? Are you the image of an expectation? Are you the image of your perception of others and all you think they want you to be? Is that image who you are?

Do you really know the person who stands before you in the reflection? Who is it looking back you? Are you friend or foe to yourself?

When you look at yourself in the mirror do you smile knowing you are looking at your best friend? Are you your own best friend?

Do you trust this person so inexplicably to offer your life to them? Your life is in your own hands always. You make the choices for you. Building a trusting relationship with yourself enables you to make great choices for YOU.

Do you love this person so deeply you can forgive them all mistakes, be compassionate in all their experiences, laugh with them through the fun times, hug them when they are sad, stand beside them every step of the way, encourage them in the tough times, celebrate with them in the good times.

Forgive the past, forget what was. All there is, is now. Begin right now to make a great choice for YOU - See the friend you have in the mirror and make today the day of new beginnings for YOU with your new best friend. Get to know the real person behind the image, behind the illusion. Get to know YOU. Trust in yourself. Know that you are at the helm and it is YOU steering where you take yourself.

Go on, take a new look in the mirror and discover the YOU looking back at you. Your best friend is waiting to meet you, TODAY. Welcome YOU into your loving heart.
