When will my Reflection show who I am inside......?

 

 

 

I count myself lucky and blessed to have the opportunities I have, to meet the great people that I do.

Deeply soulful conscious encounters that I would never take back, encounters that I would over-orchestrate if I had tooo, encounters that have not just enriched my life, but have allowed me the freedom to let my light shine.

My post today is dedicated to the brave souls , that I greatly and gently admire, souls who truly stand for everything that the stiletto rambler blog is about, more so this post is about the silent lessons that they have taught me, lessons that I hope you can take with you as you walk your own journey to a mutually fulfilling authentic life.

 With all the mingling and socialising that I do, I have come to realize that one of the hardest things in life to do, is to take off the mask that we put on for the world stage and be the person staring back at us

 “the man in the mirror “if you will,

 

You know that person ,, that looks back at you  when the lights have dimmed the wine glasses are empty and its,  just you and yours, the you that you fear my be rejected if they even attempted to surface in society, the you deep down inside, that sits on your shoulder and constantly reminds you that your life is a lie, the constant reminder that your reflection is nothing much but a sociatel fabrication you created to survive, as well as the roles that these masks force us to master.. so to the following souls i bid a salute my light allow alot more others to let theirs shine!

From my friend Keith Vries - I have learnt :

·         That challenging the world is a great way for personal growth.

·         That Honestly with oneself allows us to open up to others.....and learn more, grow more .experience more and then my personal favourite lesson.

·         It’s never too late to get honest with yourself- why I say its my favourite lesson is because it to damn easy for us to stick to the status quo,

it’s tooo easy for us to keep the masks we have worn for years- Keith for always pushing the boundaries of self-discovery I salute you.

From my Darling friend Mercedes: I have learnt:

·         That if I don’t take up the challenge to get to the point where my reflection shows who I am inside, and then I have not done my best to live my truest life- i have cheated myself.

·         That I need to be my own cheerleader first before I can be others-self esteem starts at home..

·         That criticism is worth nothing if it doesn’t lead to growth-

·         That every day is indeed a red carpet day.

·          That there is never an excuse to NOT put your truest self first.

·         But most importantly to  fight for your space in society, even if that means being in a class of your own- Mercedes honey your rock.

From my friend Shishani: I learnt,

·         That change and revolution just needs one black sheep.

 

·         That your support systems are of great importance.

• That love has no boundaries.

 

The day your reflection shows who you are inside, is the day you decide to put currency to your time,  understand your value,

it’s the day you challenge your surroundings and start building a life that reflects your truth.

It’s the day you say no to mediocre behaviour in both your friendships and relationships

, it’s the day you no longer take up the role of the mistress, or the doormat partner,

Is the day you start teaching people how to treat you.

 It’s the day you put in as much effort into pleasing yourself, as do into pleasing others.

And as always, on my quest to authenticitism and living my truest life, I  remind you that it’s not perfection, its progress.

 And the best you , is simply a mask removal away.
