Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Is the hardest lesson of them all!
Yes, I'm paraphrasing from 'Snow White, and the Seven Dwarfs', but the wall and the mirror I'm talking about are not the evil queen's mirror and the wall it's upon. The mirrors we see each day, everyday, all around us are our immediate environment. Some of these mirrors are the people in our lives, some known and some unknown, and other mirrors are the situations we find ourselves in, and the emotions these situations produce... all these are our true mirrors.
"How come?" you ask. Because, whatever is happening in our environment is a direct reflection of something from our subconscious minds. This then is the hard truth we may choose to accept, and work through, to have joy, beauty, peace and all those things we love to experience, to be reflected back to us. Or, we can choose to go in denial, continue as we always have been, blaming our lives, our luck, other people, our situation, and continue to remain in victim mode, because we are not ready or prepared to own responsibility for that in our environment which we don't like and which is distasteful to us. Our 'mirrors', then, bring us face to face with our hardest lessons.
These lessons, however, are gifts from the Universe, providing us with a constant measure to see how we're faring in our lives. But, to recognize them as the gifts they are requires us to take responsibility for who we are, and understand how we are the creators of what is happening in our lives, and why we are attracting what we are, despite not wanting to. This acceptance is of course very hard to come to. But, once we do it, it will give us the determination to choose the path which will help us to find the most radiant, and magnificent versions of ourselves.

Thanks for writing this.
I am so glad you found meaning in this post. I want to share that just because I write these blogs doesn't mean the same sun doesn't rise for me as does for everyone else. I have mirrors to contend with too -- but with humility, and a certain relief :-) - phew, I can say that by stopping the blame game, and switching off the 'victim button', I am now able to 'pick myself up' way faster than ever before. Even as I live through, and suffer from, the human experience, I can bring my attention back to 'me' and and the 'reflections' in my mirror, to do the needful to heal the issue and myself - to move on to the next reflection :-)-- but in the process become a more and more authentic person. I'm sharing all this because I sincerely believe that if I could do it, anyone can. The only prerequisite is a strong and stubborn desire to know and experience your Higher Self...
