Congratulations [Once You Face The Mirror]!

 

HOW many zillion times have we heard someone egging OR challenging someone else to FACE THE MIRROR?  Let's take a step back.  The mirror has become the very symbol of that Rubicon Bridge because NOT until we gather all our guts and courage and bundle it with our gumption, then, we could liken that to ourselves [FINALLY] crossing the Rubicon.  And that's WHEN someone will scream, CONGRATULATIONS📗📙📘

Thing is, that space between the conscious and unconscious has always been the beginning of any CHANGE we've started and the thing is, we DON'T change by wanting to CHANGE.  YES, we end up deciding to CHANGE WHEN we see our own self clearly.  And many times, I heard this counsel from many psychologists:  Let us stop compromising OR giving an inch away, akin to self-negotiation because if we develop that habit of self-negotiation, more likely, we keep giving in, giving room to our own qualms, our tentativess, our vascillations, our own doubts with regard our own resoluteness to proceed OR not.  To quote Stoic philosopehr Seneca, our consciousness to level-up is proof and a significant step of transformation and to quote him:  WHOEVER COMES TO A MIRROR TO CHANGE HIMSELF HAS ALREADY CHANGED [by the time he/she does face the mirror].  WHY?  Because the less resolute, the coward-leaning part of our own selves would have skirted OR avoided facing to face that mirror in the first place💦💦💦

And the minute we are ready to face that person in the mirror, as early as that point in time, the CHANGE is already underway and yes, someone behind you can blurt out a loud 'CONGRATULATIONS' to you by then.  Thing is, no one will walk up to the mirror with doubts, uncertainty OR fears that remain lurking all over one's persona.  In a blunt way, you DON'T walk up to the mirror unless something inside you is already awake.  And you DON'T check your reflection unless you're already aware by then that something is 'off'.  And that awareness does change everything going forward and that awareness changes everything going forward.  BTW, this is a factual statement:  NOBODY EVER CHANGED ON IMPULSE💚💛💜

WHAT I learned through the years is that our eventual decision to question our own actions right in front the mirror can even trigger a domino effect.  NOT until we make and take that unconscious conscious enough, we just CAN'T turn things around.  Indeed, life transformation happens the minute we decide to go and face that mirror.  And the second we admit of your precarious situation, by the time you reach and face the mirror, you've already crossed the line by then and what comes next into play is this domino effect which will then start to play BUT very much in your favor.  YES, if there is competition, that comes from within you if you remain stubborn to flip❌❌❌

Our takeaway:  Allow me to piggy-back on this very old cliche, that is, IF THERE'S WILL, THERE'S A WAY.  And while it's true that there are a zillion stumbling blocks and humps to overcome along the road, most of the time, the toughest stumbling block and the most difficult hump to overcome is our own self.  Otherwise, no amount of steep slopes of Mount Rushmore OR Mount Everest should ever deter us from moving forward until we receive and hear that loud CONGRATULATIONS [once we [finally] face the mirror]😡😡😡
