Reflect – a poem
April 20, 2021
Have you taken a moment to
reflect?
On your life,
on your past,
on the present
or
just in general?
It occurred to me that
I have had such an impact
on people,
on the world around me,
and
in other things I do.
Do you?
If you take time to reflect
internally,
you will feel grateful to have come so far.
You will feel happy about your impact.
If you don’t,
then look inside yourself.
See what you’re missing
and
fill that void.
Live your life for you
and only you.
Make yourself happy first.
Continue reflecting on your life
while you’re living it.
Look in the mirror and
look at the person who looks like you
that is glaring back at you.
Is it you?
Who is looking back at you?
Who are you
is not the question.
The question is:
Who do you want to be?
You can be anyone
or anything
you want to be.
Reflect.
Give your soul life.
Flourish when looking
at the reflection
of your life
or even at your own reflection.
That reflection visible
in the mirror
in a pond
or in the windows
as you pass by
walking through life.
But don’t forget to
look at the
reflection
of your soul.
Because it’s what your
physical reflection
does not display.
Know your impact.
Because
the truth is,
you’ll never realize how large it is.
Reflect
because it makes you happy.
It keeps you
going.
It shows how great you are
and it makes you who you are.
Reflect because
you have touched
hearts,
minds
and
lives
in irreplaceable ways.
Take time to reflect
on all the greatness
that you harness inside
and that you have given to the world.
Reflection.
It’s about looking internally
to see what you hold
and provide
externally to
impact those
and the world around you.
Start appreciating that reflection
that you see.
For it means more
than you think.
You have come so far.
You are right where you should be
and
you’re on your way to
even more
greatness.
Remember to reflect
along the way.
