Thoughts in the mirror

"It's easy for you," my mind says.

"You will see your appearance in the mirror and you will know whether you are beautiful or not. If you don't like your hairstyle, you will change it. If your face is pale, you will put a little blush on it. If your eyes are tired, you will put eyeshadow on them. You will fix anything, that you don't like.

But you won't see me. I am your mind and your mirror does not recognize me. You have to work hard to understand your thoughts. They are hidden, change easily, and sometimes they just disappear and you have to put in a lot of effort until you find them again. There are things that upset you so much, that your face turns red. You will see it in the mirror and it will be a sufficient sign that you need to change something.

Don't look for solutions to your problems outside of yourself. You will go the wrong way and you will go astray. It is probably that you will lose yourself and when we lose ourselves, it is very difficult to find ourselves again. You may encounter another problem and another along the way, and you don't need that. Remember, the solution is always in the same place. In you. It waits patiently for you to find it. And when you find it, it will take you exactly where you want to be. And again you will see your smiling face in the mirror. You will see that you exist. You don't have to do anything, it's enough to exist. You are enough."

"What do you really want?" my mind asks.

"You look like you don't want anything. Again the mirror doesn't recognize your thoughts. But it recognizes your pale face that can't hide your fear. You're worried. Your thoughts are burdensome. You're not sure if you did some things well. There are a lot of mistakes behind you. But once you start valuing your mistakes more than your successes, you will win.

Everything you want to know about your wishes and dreams is in you. All the answers you want to find, your heart knows. You may be able to see your thoughts in the mirror. Maybe just one step separates you from that. Before you take that step, trust yourself, because you know best what you want. Get to know yourself so well that every wrinkle speaks, that every facial expression reveals the secret that you keep in yourself. Don't hide from yourself. In the new year, learn to read. Learn to read your thoughts. Your mirror is always with you."

Sometimes it is good to have an internal dialogue. It is good to question yourself about everything that bothers you. That leads to inner peace.

Thank you very much for your time.
