Reflections of the Self

/
 

The world is a mirror to your soul,
Your happiness will be shown
On the faces of strangers,
Your fear will flicker in their eyes,
Your hope will express itself
In the poetry you read, as too will your ills.

The mirror rejects what you are not,
Thus the world will always be you,
In this way you are trapped,
Rejecting love when you need it most,
And the advice you most need to hear.

Yet you are not stagnant,
And neither is the mood of the world,
What happens in one, distorts the other,
Words can scratch, and actions can crack,
So keep a watch on its surface,
And a polishing rag in hand.

Realise that the mirror is in fact imperfect,
Subject to change, manipulation and control,
Those reflections are more than phantasms,
They have a force that can break.
So watch the mirror,
Be on guard against its influence,
But also influence your guard,
For your actions may inadvertently
Shatter someone’s soul.

The Power of Manifestation

Manifestation isn’t mystical (or at least it doesn’t have to be), rather, it is a result of thoughts over time impacting the discovery and the actioning of opportunities.

If you are hopeful/optimistic/entrepreneurial, you will take more chances and thus are more likely to be lucky and attract success than if you are pessimistic - if it will fail, why even start?

Similarly, if you are happy, others will feel it and resonate. If you are anxious, it will make them anxious, thus the world is a reflection of your soul.

This is why it’s so hard to change. We get stuck in a rut. In feedback loops. In a cycle of what we have always done.

If we try to leave, if we try to change, our very neurons hold us back. Than our habits. Then the momentum of our life. Then our friends and family.

Change is hard, but it can happen - if you manifest it.

Manifestation Techniques for Beginners

  1. Discover your goal - what is your highest value? The distant mountain to which you are heading?

    Work it out and write it on your wall.

  2. Think like a success - what would someone on the summit need to be to get there? What thoughts would they need to have? What habits? What friends?

    Start making those changes.

  3. Positive self talk - speak to yourself like you have made it. Focus on positive ‘I am’ statements.

    I am successful.

  4. Celebrate the small victories - the climb may take a lifetime. Celebrate the steps along the way.
