In Summary

There is this big mirror in my bathroom. Whenever I want to have my bath I usually take some time to admire myself, I look at how much my beards have grown, my handsome face and my 5 packs and I will say to myself.
𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙞! 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙞’ Lol.

However I realised that I could hardly see myself through the mirror after bathing because the mirror is usually foggy.

Then it occurred to me that there are a lot of people who can no longer see themselves as they truly are because the mirror through which they see themselves is fogged up with negative past experiences, toxic environments and emotional abuse. All these have given them a skewed perception of who they truly are at their core, it has affected their self esteem and also dampened their spirit.

What do you see whenever you look in the mirror, I mean what mental image of yourself do you have? Do you see yourself as someone who will never make it in life because that’s what your friends, parents or teacher has repeatedly told you?

Do you see yourself as someone who will never get a spouse because of the long history of broken relationships you have experienced?

Or you came from a background that has never had a millionaire or a graduate, thus you don’t see yourself as someone who could be any different.

Has your mirror been fogged up with any of these things that you no longer believe in yourself?

Have you been held hostage by low self-esteem?
