The Mirror and the Story You Give It

We stand in front of the mirror with power. But the mirror doesn’t know that. It only knows what you give it.

It reflects a static moment in time, your beliefs, your energy, your mood, and your story. The story you’ve told yourself.

If you’re lost, out of touch, unsure of who you are, where you’re going, or even where you’ve been, the mirror will show you exactly that. Looking for flaws? You’ll find them.

But on the days you remember who you are, who you’re becoming, and who you want to be, you’ll notice the mirror starts to shift.

You want more joy? Bring it. Happiness, excitement, and enthusiasm will be reflected back.

You don’t hear this very often:

What you see in the mirror is exactly what you give it.

Self-image. Perception. Balance. Subtle shifts, small suggestions, different perspectives.

Tell yourself the truth about what people actually notice and what they don’t, and you’ll start to see things fall into place.

Trying to hide uncovers something else. What you obsess over, people don’t notice. But that’s not really what’s getting in your way, is it?

It’s the story. The story you’re telling yourself.

So, what are you looking for in the mirror? Answer that question. Tell yourself the truth and your story may change. Your life can be transformed and be reflected right back to you.

And maybe what you’ll see in the mirror was just waiting to be put there.

This goes beyond trends. It goes beyond the runway. It’s how you speak, what you say yes to, and what you stop apologizing for.

How you see yourself writes your story.

And it can transform your life.
