Taking a good look at yourself

So sometimes in life there is a turning point. Sometimes it’s because you hit rock bottom and have no choice. Other times you have to take a look in the mirror and look at your life.

So that has recently happened to me. Taking a good look at yourself and saying shit man I don’t like my life. So what are you going to do about it.

So I have always been the serious, responsible one, always missing out on life because I thought my career was the be all and end all.

I’ve worked over 12 hour days, covering everyone else’s shifts because my career kept advancing. So it’s only up until recently that I’ve been thinking a lot about life.

For me, I took a look at myself in the mirror and said, what the hell are you doing. I quit my highly stressed job where I was miserable, I moved to a city where I love and decided all I want in life is to enjoy it.

Careers and possessions are not everything in life and for too long I held these higher than friends.

So now I look back over the last 10 years and am quite sad that I didn’t come to this realisation when I was younger, because I’ve been missing out on life.

So if your not happy with your life, take a good look in the mirror. You are not alone. Other people are going through it too. Someone like me who always looks in control and holds everything together can still be breaking down on the inside.

Look at yourself in the mirror and if you don’t like what you see, change it. Only you can do this, but your not alone.
