REFLECTION

                                                                      REFLECTION

         According to Ernest Holmes, “Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the Thinker what he thinks into it.”
We shape our world continuously consciously or unconsciously based on our thoughts, sometimes we are so engrossed in our present we put aside our past,  in somebody cases this is good in some cases this is bad, it all depends on how this past molds our present and creates our future. Some of the behaviors we exhibit may be as a result of past occurrences we have subconsciously forgotten about, this is a kind of protective shield, the brain provides.
       Self Reflection is a key to understanding yourself better. It may be something you least expect that has caused you great damage or has led to your great success.
My fear of Motorcycles have gone a long way, I couldn’t quite put my finger on why I hate it so much, then I remembered Mum told me how the Silencer burned her once. This explains why I watch  that part of a Bike so keenly. But the fear grew so strong after I got hit by one.
My fear of being viewed as weak led me to my first performance on stage as a Rapper.
My fear of being on the Road at all developed from a car accident that my family and I were involved in, miraculously no one was hurt. The only family member that wasn’t present was my Father who was in another state.  I can’t cross the road if i see a single  oncoming bike, I’ll wait till the coast is clear.
I don’t keep best friends, it’s not as a result of betrayal, it’s just that every close friend I ever had, always moved on to another country, another school, somehow this affected my relating with people and I didn’t quite figure it out yet till I sat and self-reflected, ‘Why don’t I have close friends?’
‘Am I a bad person to be with?’
‘Why am I not warming to people?’
‘Why do I keep to myself so much?’
I just thought of my self and things just started unfolding themselves, nothing is really a mystery, you just have to dig out the answer.
You would sooner realize when you sit down to think that a lot of things you do, a lot of behaviors you exhibit knowingly or unknowingly are as a result of past occurrences.
When I say I love you, then i really mean it, I take the word LOVE as a sacred word, I don’t just dish it out. I cannot bear the thought of losing someone I love, reason I am overprotective of my family, I am willing to jump in front of a bus for my mother!
My point is you are not so complicated after all once you sit back, kick out your feet and start connecting the dots. Albert Einstein said “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”
Think of your outer environment as a mirror of your inner environment.
YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE, YOUR THOUGHTS CREATES YOUR FUTURE.
