“Mirror Mirror on the wall…." 

We all remember this moment right?  The evil Queen goes to the mirror and asks, "Who is the fairest one of all?” She is desperate for this validation because her world is falling apart due to Snow White.  She failed to acknowledge that her world was falling apart because of the seeds she had sown in her past and really had nothing to do with Snow White.  

Erica Jong says, “Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one is to blame.”  The evil Queen was 100% responsible for her past and present actions.  There was no one else to blame for her demise.   You might be wondering, “How does this relate to my life Becky?”  Well, we have a tendency to define our current life by our past struggles.  How often have you heard someone say, “I can’t lose weight! I’ve tried every diet. I’ve been heavy since I was a kid!”  Or what about a toxic relationship? The person feels like they can’t get out because who would they be without this person? They stay no matter how destructive the relationship. 

Living into your future is not an easy task!  It requires that you show up as the person you WANT to be on a minute by minute basis.  If you’re 250 pounds but want to be 150 pounds you have to LIVE each day as if you were that 150 pound person!  You have to take on the habits of a person who is 150 pounds.   We need to rewire our brains and stop living with a victim mentality.  Our past is our past and thank God it’s IN the past!  It has absolutely no control over our  desired future!  Don’t live your current life through the fog of your past life.  We need to define who we are today and who we want to become.  Think of who you want to be and how you want to show up in this world!  Write these words down!  This is you!  Live it…live into it…be it!  You deserve the life of your dreams.
