If mirrors could talk, they would remind me that the most powerful tool that I have right now in my life, and my body is my mind. That’s why negativity fights me in my mind. Stress doesn’t have to tie me up for me to be bound, it just must tie up my head with worry, aggravation, low self-esteem, pettiness, anger, hostility, and rebellion, and it can make me physically sick because my mind is sick.
If mirrors could talk, they will ask me to lay my hands on my head and say: I have a new mind, a new perspective, a new way of looking at my situation. There are going to be some struggles, some challenges, and some tests, but even the struggles, challenges and tests are an opportunity for me to show off the victory if my mind can handle the change.
It will remind me not to shape myself around the comings and goings of this world. It will remind me not to share my opinions and my attitudes around circumstances that I cannot change. It will remind me not to go into tomorrow and waste another day with the old mentality while somebody’s in the hospital begging for the opportunity that I have right now.
It will remind me not to face a giant without courage. Not to make a major decision without prayer. Not to bring somebody into my life just because they please me. It will tell me to submit myself, my destiny, and my future to my belief in Love. It is my foundation, my rock, my fortress, my strength, and my defence.
It will remind me that I am not any further than where I am right now because I have never thrown my whole self at anything in life. If I take a half-committed man and a half-committed woman and put them together, they’ll have some half-committed kids, and the whole house will be half-committed because children will be what they see. I must stop getting frustrated with others as they reflect on their environment.
Through the storm, the rain, the heartache, the pain, and the disappointment of life, I must believe in togetherness, and not me and you or I am not going to make it. A commitment is not a feeling. I have got to come home when I am in love, and when I am not in love, or I am not going to make it and stay there till the love comes back home.
It will remind me of my commitment to my dream. I cannot get people to believe in my dream until I believe in it myself. I must stop asking people to invest in things where I have no investment. Stop asking people to deliver something to me where I am not willing to go to the wire for myself. If I don’t learn to give like I learn to get, every area that there is no fulfilment will not flourish.
If mirrors could talk, they will remind me that I will not respect myself until I had the taste of finishing. Until I follow through until something is done, come hell or high water, tears and struggles and pain and I go through it anyway and I show up and I continue to fight on no matter the circumstances, after a while something begins to wither inside of me.
It will remind me that the urge to quit is a feeling every champion has felt, every president has felt, every King has felt, every lion has felt, every winner has felt, every soldier has felt, and every victorious person has felt it. I have a moment where I could go forward, or I can give up. But I must keep in mind before I give up that if I give up, the guarantee is it will never happen.
If mirrors could talk it will remind me that my character is not judged when I ride a wave of success. When everyone chants my name, and they want to be my friend? No. My character is put to the test when my back is against the wall. I must give myself a reason to wake up. Stay the course. Give me a reason to get dressed, no matter how impossible my situation may seem. Stay on course.
