the mirror

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Not a real mirror but the one in your mind. The one you see when you think about yourself.

Do you see the job you have? I work at this place and I do this.

Do you see the things you have? I collect such and such. I have this and this.

Do you see the place where you live? I live in this suburb.

This is an example of how to think. You become what you think about. You are thinking about what you are doing even if it isn't what you want to be doing.

You need to think about what you can do if you want to improve your life. You are very capable of doing many things, things that are unique to you, things that only you can do.

Try to think about the things you can do. You can exercise so you can get back into shape. You can write so you can start to create something unique. You can be a person with self control so you can lose weight.

Work on the things you can do and that you want to do. Think about yourself in these terms. In a little while you will see someone else in the mirror and you can start to think about what you really want to do instead of what you happen to be doing.
