The Mirror
On my flight home from Ireland, I had 9 hours to kill.
People around me were watching movies, playing games, scrolling, sleeping...
I did something different.
I positioned myself so my TV screen reflected only me. Put on headphones. Turned everything off.
And for about 4 hours, I sat there in silence staring at myself.
No distractions.
No phone.
No noise.
Just me.
And I’ll tell you something...
Looking at yourself honestly is hard.
Really asking:
Am I where I thought I’d be?
Am I becoming who I want to become?
Am I settling in places I know I shouldn’t?
You’ll see things you like.
You’ll see things you don’t.
You’ll smile.
You’ll cringe.
But most people never do it.
We stay busy.
We scroll.
We distract ourselves.
Distraction is where you lose yourself.
Silence is where you find yourself.
Most people spend more time planning vacations than they do understanding themselves.
Try something uncomfortable this week.
Sit somewhere completely alone for 30 minutes.
No TV. No music. No phone.
Just you.
See what shows up.
