Confronting Me!!

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was forced to confront the woman that stood before me in the mirror. Although, it was my reflection, she didn't look like me. She looked tired, rundown, beat and bruised to the core. I stepped away from the mirror hoping by the time I looked in it again, I would see the person I wanted to see. The woman with the long flowing hair, Mac make-up on to a "T", the woman that could make life look so easy to those that took at glimpse at her. But the image I was giving to the world was a facade a superficial appearance. Inside I was slowly dying and just existing. Living life the way others wanted me to. I wasn't being true to me. That was six years ago. I was forced to look in the mirror and realize that life is to short to live in an unhappy state of mind. Life is to short to be afraid to live life to it's fullest. Life is to short to be angry. Six years ago I decided to start working on "ME" and although I still stumble and fall. The fall is a little different and the way I lift myself up has changed :-). If you ask me what was the worst day of my life, I would have to say the day I was forced to "Confront Me". If you ask me what was the best day of my life. I would have to say the day I was forced to "Confront Me". I know your thinking how could that be, you see on that day I realized that I had wasted so many years of my life living for others and now I was looking at the reflection of a woman I barely knew. I didn't know her likes or dislikes, I didn't know where she was going, she had no goals, no dreams, she was just existing and that scared the mess out of me, but on that same day I decided to step into my "Greatness" and answer all the questions my soul was asking. Chloe who are you? Who are you at the core of your being? What labels have you allowed others to put on you that you now believe or what labels have you put on yourself. Why do you continue to hold onto anger? I had a million question that needed to be answered. I had to figure out who is Chloe Womack... I know who she is now and I continue to learn new things about her everyday. I have fallen in love with "ME" and I love it. In the words of Ms. Whitney Houston "I Didn't Know My Own Strength", but now I do!!
