Smoke & Mirrors

Today I was doing dumbbell lateral raises in the mirror.

It was a bit of a funky mirror.

So I looked kinda like a broomstick with tree branches coming out of the side swaying up and down in the wind.

And it made me realise...

What I see is different but what looks different, is not.

The reflections we get back in life from friends, from haters, from family, from situations that we face in our lives, do not change who we are but only what we see.

If you start a diet and your friends give you sh*t for not having a slice a pizza at a flat-warming party, they are showing you that you're a wannabe fitness junkie but you're not.

You're still the motivated individual that is committed to a goal and is living the lifestyle that will get you to the achievement of that goal.

Be careful with the mirrors that you surround yourself with.
