Beren morning to you, the man in the mirror has to look at himself with pure honesty , is easy to point the fingers at others is hard to point the finger at our own self. The beauty that we want to create in the world around us has to be reflected in the world within. This is the secret to create a happiness that is contagious even in times of grief.
Thank you for this post , this is the way I have lived my life even when for me it was hard to swallow because change is a slow process at times and is easy to escape the mood of self reflection and honesty . I am responsible for me and my actions, good or bad. Wisdom of the heart, self discipline and a connection to our higher self will chip away the roughness and create smooth edges within the sculptor that is your work of art. The man or woman in the mirror of self reflection.
