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.

BEING YOU...

I t's been said that the biggest enemy of 'great' is 'good'. The biggest enemy most of us face is 'ourselves'. The nagging voice says: be like him, you're not worthy; do what he does, follow where others are going. When you're trying to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is "second best" . Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. We all do it or have done it at some point in our lives; we compare ourselves to others and gauge where we are based on what we observe them to be doing. When you stop comparing yourself to others, you tend to produce more results in your life, you are able to improve yourself, and get a better vision for your life . The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU . The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be cont...

Be Yourself

Be an original individual and not a photocopy. However, you may try to change your personality, but you can't. A congolese proverb says, " Wood may remain ten years in the water, but it will never become a crocodile". Beware! Many spend their entire lives trying to change the way they were made. "To be nobody but yourself" says E.E. Cummings " but in a world which is doing its best day and night, to make everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." The greatest tragedy than can strike an individual is to fail to know himself.  Syndney Harris said "Ninety percent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties and their real virtues". Whatever you are, be a good one.  You are number one; everyone in the world is your number two. Wart Disney said, "the more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone els...

Character..

Character is the aggregate sum total of one's distinctive moral and mental qualities. Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character, however it is not a natural endowment we are born with.  It is something that each individual forms of itself, with a continuous process in every thought, every action, every deed, every feeling which contributes to the education  faculty of our attitudes and habits.  Character is just like cloud of smoke, it can never be concealed or hidden because it will find its way out. Character is a magnet that attracts the right people to you. It is the real foundation of all worth while success.  "Thoughts leads on purposes, purposes go forth in action, action from habits, habits decides character, and character defines our destiny" (Tryon Edwards). Would your reputation recognize your character if they met in the dark? Would the boy you were be proud of the man you are?
