Mirrors. Reflection. Criticism. Flaws. Strengths. Weaknesses.
Every time we look at the mirror, it reveals a reflection of ourselves. The way we dress, the way our facial features were made, the way our bodies are shaped, some imperfections here and there, birthmarks and scars. But what the mirror doesn't show, is what is on the inside. But that's what everyone seeks in others, the interests of one another's personality. You can't simply look at the mirror and see whether you are a good or a bad person, it must start with your attitude towards yourself, your attitude towards your work and your attitude towards the people around you. Starting off with yourself, you must practice the traits of discipline, patience, focus, forgiveness, positivity, and determination. Remember, you are your only true best friend, the only person you could never leave behind, the only person who's there for you and is stuck with you forever, so be careful on what you say to that person you always look at in front of the mirror. Push those negative thoughts away and love yourself because self love is important.
But what if those negative thoughts DON'T come from the person standing in the mirror? What if... what if those negative thoughts/comments came from the OTHER side of the mirror or should I say, translucent mirror?
People tend to be judgemental, it's just so easy to comment on whatever you think seems right or wrong. It's so easy to look at a person and start pointing out flaws and secretly judging them in your mind. Although some people tend to point out weaknesses through sending hate, criticism and even bullying/cyberbullying. These types of people will do anything to let you crumble, to let you know you are worthless, and to make you realise they are right. Now, it's your decision to either listen to them and fall into this hole of darkness and insecurity, or you simply let it pass your left ear and wait for it to get out of your right ear. It's all about where your focus is, once you focus on your strengths and only that, you'll feel much lighter and on top of the world. If your weaknesses can still be improved, why not work on that, right? Life is simply building yourself into becoming the best version of you that only YOU could ever be. So next time you look at yourself in the mirror. Smile. And remember that you've got strengths, and that you are only human with a desirable heart.
