Reflecting on yourself - your strength and weakness

Our creator make our eyes look forward and our foot pointing forward so we walk forward. Our neck cannot turn 360 degree and we have to take extra effort to turn our whole body  to change the direction of our vision to look behind us. This is a very perfect situation which tell us that we should look forward in everything we do. The past is gone as we step forward in time, leaving a trial of our past deeds. Hence, there remains another side of our story when Man created the mirror.

The mirror is a miracle and as we look at the mirror we can see our self and our past. We did not need to  do the unnatural things of walking forward and looking behind. We will tumble and fall as this is not the normal routine. When we look in the mirror we often only want to check how we look and we patch up the imperfections on our face and hair. This the main or only purpose of the mirror. We never took it to look deeper and a bigger picture and meeting that person in the mirror face to face. That person is YOU.

The face of the person in the mirror is so familiar to you and you take it for granted. Have you stared in the mirror to talk to yourself , treating it as if it as  another person.  Now, you are GOD looking at your own creation and that person is under your absolute control, Have you have a heart to heart talk with your reflection and go through his deeds for the day or advise yourself what you have done wrong and whats need to be done for yourself. Are you frank with yourself and stop hiding the imperfections in your life? This moment is the most important time because you are with yourself and most of the time you are with other people and worried about other people.

Don't think that when you are alone, you are lonely. You are with yourself and this is the most valuable moment. You should take this time to talk to yourself and search yourself from within. You should reflect on all your strength and weakness , whether who you can manage yourself better. Such reflections will make wiser and better in handling your life.

Nobody is perfect and we have to tolerate imperfection as we look at ourselves to make adjustments and to know our self better. It is just a simple task and it is not used most of the time. When you brush your teeth in the morning, you look in the mirror and spend a few seconds and minutes to talk to your reflection and guide the person , that is you through the day and reflects on your self and your past deeds. If we have a good past , we have a good future. The choice is yours,

Namaste.
