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.

Refuse To Live a Targetless Life

The ability to set a goal is the master skill to success. Success is goals, all else is commentary. You cannot hit a target you cannot see, if you don't have one. One of the greatest mistakes and a waste of life is living without a clear purpose or goal. A life without clear goals is a life doomed to failure.  Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitation. So the clearer you are about your goal, the more rapidly you'll attract people and circumstances into your life to help make that goal a reality.  Most people have their eye on the wrong goal. Is more money, a higher position or more influence your goal? These are not goals but are the by-products of true goals. We should work to become, not acquire.  Measure wealth not by things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money. Happiness is not a reward - it's a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it's result. ...

Your Potential Is Your Purpose

Dr Myles Munroe shares a powerful idea that I would like to share with you. He says that the wealthiest places in the world are not the gold mines of South America or the oil fields of Iraq or Iran. They're not the diamond mines of South Africa or the banks of the world. The wealthiest place on the planet is just down the road. It is the cemetery. There lie buried, companies that were never started, inventions that were never made, best-selling books that were never written and masterpieces that were never painted. In the cemetery is buried the greatest treasure of untapped potential. There is a treasure within you that must come out. It is your potential. Don’t go to the grave with your treasure still within you. "There lies within each person a huge reservoir of untapped potential for achievement, success, happiness, health and greater prosperity. It's like an ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled ...

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.
