They say that eyes are the window to the soul
To see the history held inside
The mysteries of life that is not ready to be told
But what happens when you try to look into your eyes

When facing the mirror, looking at yourself
The Past, Present, and Future become one in that single moment in time
To visualize the person you were, who you are, and who you want to be
Or the person hope you will be
Contemplating the decisions of your identity

It is that moment in the mirror where you face yourself
To motivate or make excuses to yourself
To decide if you are going to settle with your life
Or persuade yourself to push for greatness

The mirror provides the opportunity to revisit the younger you
The version of yourself with so much excitement and promise
The free spirit that was creative and without fear
Until the world beat you down

Imagine younger you looking at the present and future
Would they be happy?
Would they want a different life for themselves?
Well only you can decide that

It is never too late to change
Never too late to reclaim yourself
Just remember
When you looked at that Mirror, will you be happy with who was staring back
