What do you see in the mirror?

BY KIMBERLY BAILEY-TUREAUD

At different stages of our life’s journey, we pause to look in the mirror and see our physical selves. 

When we take that occasional glance, what might be overlooked is the point of our existence. Are you living the existence you had imagined at this point in your life? 

The intensity of stress can be felt when we are traveling life’s path to satisfy spectators, or fulfill a political agenda that makes others feel comfortable. We all have a divine order given by the blessing of life. Your stay on this mighty planet is temporary, and the impact you make should be driven by your deepest passions. 

Time waits on no one, and you are the timekeeper of your progression or regression. The life you always imagined for yourself should consist of intentional movements made every day. Ultimately, it is your peace, your love, and your life that must be protected. 

That man or woman in the mirror should be greeted with pride and a smile. Yes, you DID IT! The walk toward fulfillment must be fearless. Courage is the greatest attribute in one’s life. It might get lonely — but you came into this world on your own and you will leave it by yourself. 

The greatest feat is stepping into your purpose. Your peace is mandatory. It’s ALL up to you. Go inside your spirit and ask the questions that most define as selfish. But it is important to DO YOU. LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! By any means necessary.
