LIFE IS MIRRORLife is a mirror which always reflects what we think, how we fell, what we do and, especially, what we really are.It is a sobering thought. It should cause one to pause in his day’s moods to witness his reflection in the mirror of his life. As we grow older the picture of out past is etched in the lines of our faces and illuminated, dimly or brightly, in the depths of our eyes. The old saying that others can “read us like a book” might better be expressed that they can observe us like a picture, and almost instantly judge us. But, some say that appearances are misleading. And so they are, sometimes, if we judge by physical appearances only. Many people have been known to change their characters and personalities more rapidly than nature can change the outward physical manifestations of their new selves. So the novices in character and personality judgement often are misled, as novices usually are in every field. Life, nonetheless, is an accurate mirror. But it is much more than the usual plate-glass mirror in which we see ourselves everyday. The mirror of life shows not only our outer appearances, as we have created them, but, it reveals our inner selves, our characters, our mental depths and emotional stabilities, our personality traits and degrees of magnetism. It is the sum total of our outer and inner selves which makes up our real reflections, but are auras which can be sensed as well as seen. If this were only a matter of observing our real selves as we have created them, it would be merely an interesting and revealing phenomenon. But it is much more. We not only become the sum total of everything we have thought, experienced and done in our past, but in so becoming, our natures determine our responses to events which constitute our lives. It simply is a chain of causes and results. What we think, feel and do, causes us to be what we are. And what we are, causes the circumstances and events of our lives. Do not be so naive as to delude yourself that your life is a happening of fate. It was caused, principally by you, and it is a mirror which accurately reflects what you now are. If you do not like what you see in life’s mirror, you can always change it. Simply by changing YOU.
