YOU AND YOUR MIRROR

Christmas and New Year are traditionally periods of reflections. ‘Use Your Mirror‘ is the most common phrase when learning how to drive. The car mirrors speak of the practical ways to avoid road rage and accidents. The mirror principle has an undeniable image + a reflection: "The image you see in this mirror is real, you deny it at your own peril.” 

Mirrors are the most honest items, unlike camera images. The mirror always tells the truth. Mirrors don’t compromise or gloss over your defects and say you’re better-looking than you really are. The better the mirror, the more flaws of yourself will be seen. 

The way to avoid being pressured is to admit that you are in charge of your life, and nothing else can pressure you otherwise. You may not like how you look inside your mirror and decide to borrow your friend’s own, it‘s just a reflection, and it won’t change.

The image is your mind, and whatever your mind thinks is precisely what's going to be seen on your outside. Ladies, for example, are fond of using different kinds of mirrors, even after hiring a new mirror, it’s the same “You” who will be seen inside. The truth is, you can't change your reflection in a mirror, the change must take place on your image.

What you see in your mirror matters a lot. You see YOU. The only way the “You” in the mirror can be transformed into what you want or become who you want in life is to admit that the picture you see in the mirror is YOU.

The mirror is used to examine ourselves and make necessary adjustments. One day, I wore my tie on a new shirt without checking myself in the mirror. I was very happy with myself until a friend alerted me to how badly the tie stood on my neck. Suddenly, the happiness in my new look dropped. There’s no guessing of who’s my mirror here.

 
To discover the unique change that will amplify your progress despite what your image is saying, you have to honestly face your mirror and make life-changing adjustments. Never use another person’s image to assess yourself, otherwise, your output will be a camouflage of the real person in YOU. Have a wonderful Christmas.

Anyone who tells you that he or she understands himself or herself is not telling the truth or doesn't know what they are saying.

For as long as I can read and remember, questions like, ‘Who am I?’, OR, ‘What is my calling?’, and trying to figure out what I should be doing with my future, are answers that have eluded me, it’s like trying to catch a fish in the river with bare hands.

But then another question bothered me, ‘Why is it so hard to figure myself out and what I really want? No matter where you look, you will see people who don’t quite know what they are doing. Everyone seems to be making their best guess. Some have changed careers several times over. Everyone ever born seems to have been having this very problem. 

Father Abraham too was confused about these questions, to the point where God had to figure it out with him – Just go wherever I ordered! To where?  The man didn't know. Is that not a weird future directive? This is because we seem to have extensive knowledge about nearly everything in this world, but we don’t truly know about ourselves. 

Self-knowledge OR self-awareness is the opposite of ignorance. Self-knowledge is a genuine piece of information you possess about yourself. A lack of this fact is why many are trapped in their everyday habits and fears.  They overprice the impact of armed  bandits, killers on the way, possibility of financial losses, uncertain setbacks, and “Jesus will soon come”expectations, that they refused to initiate  the CHANGE process that would enhance their future.
