Beware of
the one you see in the mirror. Because you can never hide the truth from those
eyes.
When you feel naked in front of those
eyes, humbly accept your mistake and reform yourself. To make mistakes is
human. It is but natural and an integral part of growing up. But never allow
yourself to get carried away by the power of your own arguments that make you
justify your mistakes. To try to justify them to others is bad enough, but
don't try to kid yourself with your own misplaced logic. A mistake is a
mistake. It has happened and it is over. And it ceases to hurt or come in the
way of progress and inner peace when you fundamentally accept it as one. That's
when it becomes a learning opportunity. All transformation__within or
otherwise__happens when you recognize the transgression you have made, accept
its outcome, and are willing to move on.
However, when you accept the truth to
yourself, you cannot escape feeling guilty about what you have done. But with
acceptance and introspection you can overcome guilt. Undoubtedly, guilt is a
way of being truthful. But holding on to guilt can be debilitating. Feeling
constantly guilty for what you have done means that you are living in the past.
When you are in the past, you are not present in the now. But Life is happening
in the now. Which is why, guilt often holds you to ransom and prevents you from
enjoying what you have. When there's no guilt, happiness follows.
To find
your peace, look at yourself in the mirror and accept, acknowledge, own up
humbly before those eyes. Drop the guilt when it surfaces. This is the way to
happiness.
