Nothing more, nothing less. Take your popcorn and please read it and tell me if it had any impact on you!
I want you to imagine the following thing. Imagine you're 40 years older than you are now. You're sitting on the sofa watching your body. It's old. You don't have the power to do something. Just thinking that you have to go to the market to buy food frightens you.
You get up hard from the comfortable sofa and you're going to the bathroom, slowly. You're thinking about the times you had power, you could run miles, you could dance until the morning, you could do almost anything without feeling fatigue.
What you see in the mirror is a version of yours since you were younger, but much older. Your hair is white, you have wrinkles on your face ... you're touching your face and saying in mind:
If I had the power to be young again...I would give anything for that, I would give all my money, all the things I have, all.
You're still looking in the mirror and think of all the things you would have done differently. You would have told the girl from college that you liked her. You'd have helped people a lot. You wouldn't have watched that much money. You would have read more, dreamed more and enjoyed more life.
You start to regret the things you didn't do. You begin to remember how you lost time in front of a screen, when you could learn and develop, evolve.
You would have liked to know more languages, to visit more countries and to know more people. You would have wanted to risk more and not be so afraid.
You would have wanted more ... but now there is no time ... your life is almost over. You're not scared of death anymore, what makes you worse is how you acted and what you didn't do when you were younger.
Now wake up. You are still young.
You can get what you want. You can do whatever you want.
Now you can do the things right. So, when you will see your mother or father, hug them stronger and tell them how much you love them and how much you appreciate them. You can do anything.
You can dance more, you can learn more, you can help more people. You can do whatever you want, you can reach anyone you want. If you want you can!
Now it's up to you, if you want the mirror scene to repeat over 50 years or if you want to be totally different.
The choice is yours.
