It was a usual morning chores she woke-up to. A new day, a new beginning. She looked at the reflection in the mirror and shockingly questioned herself “Who is this Ugly, inconfident, and sad woman staring directly at me”? She took a step back to see if she moves, splashed some water and asked her Who are you? She replied “I am you; I am you when your spirit of life is taken away. I am you without hope and faith; I am you when nothing is working right.
I am here to tell you that its you who’ve made me, it’s your thoughts and actions. Surprisingly! She replied ‘ME’. Where did I go wrong to have ended like this? She was suddenly flooded with thoughts, thoughts of how would it be if your soul is bruised, battered and left to die? How would it be if you wake up to a tomorrow without a hope of nothing’s ever changing and there will be no new beginning? How would it be when you start to question your own identity? Death seemed to be a better option.
She leaned forward trying to figure out something in that reflection, and she found it. That glimmer of strength in her swollen eyes which was steadily glowing. She smiled – I must go on. While walking to her work, she looked up at the drizzling sky and thought to herself- This will never happen to me.
My table calendar for today reads – A man with outward courage dares to die, one with inward courage dares to live.
