Life is a Mirror

I heard this saying many years ago and even though I thought I knew what it meant I didn’t really appreciate and understand it’s full meaning…

There is a more technical term that you may be aware of and that is…

“Perception is Projection”…

So what does it mean and how does it impact our lives?…

Essentially it’s saying that we don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as we are…

The world is just reflecting back to us our internal world of thoughts, beliefs, values and emotions…

We create our reality as a consequence of who we are…

For example, if I see in the world that people are essentially good and they are doing their best and I speak that into the world, I must be the same otherwise I would not recognise it…

“we are what we see in the world at some level”…

Who we are is what we are seeing in the world…

It’s our creation…

Now if your new to this concept you will have to meditate on it and ponder it for a while until you have a deeper understanding and clarity…

Listen up…

For those of us who want to improve our lives this is a great way of using this concept to do so…

If life is a mirror and it’s reflecting back to us who we are, we now have an opportunity to change what we are seeing as that reflection…

Deep breath in…and out…good…

If I don’t like my reality that I’m creating I can change it…

Now I have an important question for you…

If I’m looking in the mirror and I don’t like what I see, do I try to change the mirror image?

No, that’s right…Definitely not…Duh….

Understand this…

It’s the same with our reality, we don’t try to change the mirror image , we change ourselves who is creating that mirror image…

WOW…that was big…please read it again and understand it…

We work on ourselves to create the reality we want…

Here’s the deal…

Now everything we see and don’t like in our reality we can change in ourselves and eventually we will stop creating it…

We are the master of our internal world, therefore our results in life…

Get cracking and work on yourself to change your world to one you will love and enjoy…

Life is a mirror…
