If You Want To Change Your Life, Find Out Why You Need To Put Down Your Mirror

Do you want to live a happier, more successful, more fulfilling life? Are you looking for how to have, be, and do what you truly desire? What strategies and methods have you tried to accomplish your goals and achieve your dreams? Did they help get what you wanted?

If your efforts did not accomplish your goals and achieve your dreams, why didn't they work for you? Why don't you have what you truly desire to have? Why aren't you the person you truly desire to be? Why don't you do what you truly desire to do? What's the secret? What are you missing? What's standing in your way?

Do You Have a Hidden True Self?

If you are asking yourself these questions, you have probably heard about Michelangelo's sculpture of David as a metaphor of how to live the life you truly desire to live.

As the story goes, Michelangelo was asked how he made his statue of David. Michelangelo said that it was easy. All he had to do was chip away any part of the stone that didn't look like David.

These words of Michelangelo about carving his statue of David have become a familiar cliché for self help work. According to this idea, you can discover your True Self by chipping away at your False Self. Your False Self is the reason why you don't live the life you desire to live. Your False Self blocks you from having, being, and doing what your True Self truly desires. Your False Self prevents you from living the life you want to live.

What if the whole idea of having your True Self hidden away by your False Self is a trap that keeps you from living the life you desire to live?
