The Mirror That Lied

This morning, my mirror lied again.
It showed me a face that looked half-asleep, hair in rebellion, and eyes still negotiating with gravity. But I smiled anyway. Mirrors only reflect the surface; they can’t measure the sparkle of intent. I told my reflection, “You’ll look better once ambition kicks in.” And it did. A splash of water, a deep breath, and the day straightened its shoulders. Sometimes motivation doesn’t come from quotes or coffee—it comes from refusing to believe what the mirror says before 9 a.m.
