If my reflection would look at me seriously and say that I’ve been wasting time and avoiding what really matters. It would remind me that I have potential, but I’m not using it the way I should.
It wouldn’t comfort me much. it would challenge me and tell me the truth I usually ignore. It would point out my excuses and push me to be more disciplined and focused.
I would take a deep breath and accept it. Then I’d respond by saying, You’re right. It’s time to stop delaying and actually start working on my goals.
