There is a purpose in your reflection. It allows you to see an image for what it really is. The mind has a way of allowing you to see what doesn't really exist. Therefore when you have created an image of yourself in your mind it portrays a thought. But when you stop and stare for ten, fifteen, twenty consecutive minutes you will literally break down and see yourself. You will break down into laughter, anger or sadness. Your emotions will start to get discombobulated. If you notice most times when someone stare in the mirror and they start crying or laughing they immediately look away, fall back or close their eyes. That is because the emotion takes over and you can't bare the sight. But in order to break through you have to keep staring, for it is then you will see the physical of what you really look like as your reflection takes back control.
Who you are and where you are does not change until your mind decides to see and look differently and when your mind gets the best of you it is impossible to stare at the truth of what is there. In order for you to defeat your mind you can't look away. In taking the stance to stare you put an end to the “ficticious” image can manifest and fuel the falsified story developing in your mind. Knowing this, the journey and obstacle is to stare through it because your reflection does not lie. You have to stare long enough in order to withstand the emotions and see WHO YOU ARE? Put an end to what society says you are, but be who God has immaculately created you to be because it is time for YOU to be the BEAUTIFUL CURVY YOU God has called you to be.
Your imperfections are perfect and your progress is great just take step after step and you will get to where you are suppose to be. For your present situation is preparing you for your future victory. When you find yourself in a rut physically find a mirror and stare because they mirror does not lie.
