Self Reflection

How often...
How often must one reflect?
How often must I come face to face
with the truth of my own being
How often must I face the questions
Which I am to ask myself each day:

Am I on the right path?
Am I fulfilling my own dreams?
Am I doing enough today
to make sure I have a great tomorrow?
Am I simply surviving or am I living?

I simply do not know

However this is my self reflection
Like using a mirror to look at myself
but this mirror is showing me my own soul

How often must one reflect?
Must ome reflect as much as one prays?
Should one know themselves as much
As they know God?

Fod G-ds sake
I am just trying to live
I am just trying to be me
I am just trying to prove to myself that
I am enough
without trying to lie to myself

Knowing my own truth
Knowing that I am worthy
Knowing that I am worth
every single achievement
which I have received

Knowing that even if I fail
I do still have a bright future
For this is not the end of my story
like one step it leads into another

What is reflected upon me
is not just my past
but also my future
I reflect upon myself in order
to create my destiny
I reflect upon myself in order
to create the type of life I should be living

I reflect upon my journey
I reflect upon who I am
and I realize something
that my self reflection is seen
in every thing that I do

The same way my work
is a reflection of my being
My self Reflection is not just
my looking at myself
but it lies in my creations
It is me achieving and becoming
The best version of myself
