What do you see when you look in the mirror? I hope it goes beyond beauty. I hope what you see is that person who's worth it and deserves nothing less than the best, I hope that you see beyond the pain, I hope that you see the glory ahead of you, I hope that you see the strong woman who doesn't break to fail, but breaks to stand the tallest and I hope that you'll always remember that you need to love the person in the mirror first to make a change .Temitayo Olami
About This Quote
When we look in the mirror we tend to see, not our physical appearance but our personality. We see the person we want to be. We want to be kind and caring, selfless and generous. We do not want to believe that we could ever be something that we are not.
This quote aims to inspire us to see beyond the impossible and realize what we can be. Instead of seeing ourselves as ugly and worthless, we should see ourselves as beautiful and worth it.
