WHO ARE YOU?

Stand in front of the mirror, and look. Look at the person in front of you with tired eyes and burdened shoulders. Look at how that person seems to have given up in the face of life, how he appears simply exhausted and crestfallen. Look how he has succumbed to his injuries inflicted on him by the hurdles on his path to success, how he has simply accepted his cruel circumstances without a fight-without a word even. Look how he wholly depends on and takes orders from his fate-how he, who had set out with the spirit of a lion, has now assumed the role of a sheep. Look at how he has taken his falling down a several times as a habit. Look at how he has presumed that perhaps his position is yonder i. e. 'down'. Look at just how-defeated-he looks. 

Is that supposed to be you? 

No

Recognize your true self. What you are seeing in the mirror is just a reflection, an illusion. You might become that, if you think that way. Think positive. Become fearless. You are the lion-the fearless predator. And your goals are your preys. The lion devours sheep, how can it become the sheep? It does not matters how many times you have fallen down. Get up again. Get up the umpteenth time. You are a fighter. The scars given by your downfalls will only glorify you. The stones which hit you to let you down will become forebearers of your tales of bravery for the coming generations. This is you-the warrior. Remember your self.
