Life Is A Mirror. Everything Else Is Feedback.


"Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it - Ernest Holmes"


You will agree with me that we all want to live happy and fulfilling lives doing what we love and surrounded by the people we adore. Freedom and happiness is the ultimate quest of the human spirit. All  Submission human accomplishments can, in one way or the other, be traced back to the need to be happy and free.

Everywhere you go, from the grandest capitals of western civilization to the forgotten corners of the African continent; whether be it the top executives in the skyscrapers of New York city or the poor street vendors in the corridors of your neighborhood; the cry has been, is and will always be the same, "We want to be free. We want to be happy." 

The truth is that a truly happy and fulfilling life is not a product of chance (luck). It is an artifact of Universal Law; the hidden Justice that regulates all life. Life is a mirror, everything else is feedback. 

The basic concept behind "feedback" is that everything that you experience in life, positive or negative is a reflection of your-self. Your life and everything in it is a reflection of you. The circumstances of your life can speak volumes about the person you have become. 

Feedback is like the image that you see when you stand before the mirror. It is not the real thing but it, in many ways represents the real thing. It represents you, the object before the mirror. It is a result. That is what all the circumstances of your life are. They are results. 

All your life experiences are results, images, shadows. They are messengers "sent" to tell you something about you. Use life circumstances (positive or negative) to learn something about you. 

The negative circumstances of your life are like symptoms of a disease. They are not the problem. They are signs that there is a problem. They are not to be despised. They are to be used as a guide to resolve the problem they've  come to announce.

Feedback is cross cutting idea which will help you improve every aspect of your life. By monitoring the results you are getting in every area of your life you will be able to adjust your thoughts, feelings and actions accordingly. Every facet of your life experience is a mere reaction or response to the essence of who you are; much more, the kind of person you have become. 

As you live in this world, it is as if there is a mirror everywhere you look. Therefore everything you see is your own reflection. Everything reflects self. Your life is a reflection of your thoughts, feelings and actions. You don't necessarily get what you want out of life. You get what you are. Things don't change; you do. And when you change, they do. 

This is the more reason why you have to pursue personal growth and development. If anything will have to change, it will have to be you. So work on your-self. "You are the person you have been waiting for". 

As Mahatma Gandhi said, "we must become the change we want to see in the world."  All creation is waiting for you to make the first move. Everything depends on you because everything is a projection of your thoughts; your consciousness. If anything affects you, it is up to you to change. 

This is the reason why we have power to overcome any challenge in our lives. It is because those challenges are projections of our thoughts and the kind of people we have become. And the only way we can overcome them is to overcome the thoughts, our thoughts, which projected those situations in our lives. 

You will never possibly experience anything that you have no control over. If by any chance, there is anything over which you have no control, be rest assured that you will never experience it. You cannot even conceive it in your mind if you can't handle it. 


You are much more than you give yourself credit for. Everything that has ever happened in your life, you have brought in your life and by the same law you can drive them out of your life if they are things that don't add value to the quality of your life. Every time you decide. It has always been that way.

Take heart if you have brought untold misery in your life. Don't try to change the man in the mirror. It is a futile experience. This is what happens every time you fight the circumstances of your life. The only way you can bring good in your life is not by working on the man inside the mirror. 

It is the man in front of the mirror who decides. When the man in front of the mirror is clean, the man inside the mirror will follow suit. This happens by law. What you are inside will ultimately be projected outside; "As within so without."

Having this perspective in life will be very empowering for you. What this means is that you decide what happens. You do so by the person you choose to become. This means that there is really nothing out there to fear but your own reflection. 

"With the same measure you give, it will be given back to you pressed down shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom." Things are never lost. What you send out will always come back to you.

It's A Process....

Accomplishing your dreams is a process, not something that happens overnight. Often we get discouraged because we don't think we are making progress, and the next thing we know we have veered away from that goal. The key is to plan a course for how we want to achieve our goals. And each and every day, take a few steps closer towards our goal. You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing. Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense. "Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, ...

Forget It All

Everyone of us has had a dream of living a better life but the evil winds usually sweep and blow us to places so far from our desired lifestyle. Life is a resting place like they say but why do we have to suffer before we leave? Alot have died and so are we to, before we can leave it to our young brothers and sisters to carry on. Everyday bears more pain and today's generation is better than the one to come.  Our lifestyle has been filled with a huge amount of killings, prostitutions,teen pregnacies, abortion and all the dark secrets we keep in our hearts. We are not free because some of these things were not dreamt of in our early years. We now hurt ourselves and refraining from these addictions isn't in our minds. We hurt ourselves and all those who are related or contributed to the problems we are facing therefore making us fail to concentrate and forgetting that every second draws us closer to the day we leave the world. Life is bitter and the best we ca...

The Law of Garbage Truck

Recently I hopped in a Taxi and we took off for the Airport.  We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right  in front of us.   My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!  The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.  And I mean, he was really friendly.   So I asked, 'Why did you just do that?   This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'  This is when my Taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck'  He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.  As their Garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.  Don't take it personally.  ...
