My Person in the Mirror

 

My Person in the Mirror

You see things; and you say "why?" But I dream of things that never were, and I say "why not?"

George Barnard Shaw-

Dear Family,

I write these words with the sheer hope that you become a better individual.

Remember how important you are and that you have something that no one in the world has - the ability to look in the mirror and see what the world cannot. Only you, the man reading this letter, only you can see and know who is looking back at you. Only you know what you are feeling and what you are thinking. And most importantly, only you can change what you feel and think. If your life is to change, it begins with you young brother, it begins with the person in the mirror.

As you stand there looking into the mirror at your own reflection, be honest with yourself. You must look past pride and common ignorance and humble yourself in order to be honest. Be grateful for the works that Jesus has done in your life, be thankful for the daily blessings that the Father has placed in your life. Know that God loves you and believes in you, for He created you. God placed you in your current situation to be a light in a dark place. So let your light shine for all to see. Never doubt yourself or underestimate the power of your own mind. In order to have power you must first understand who you are as a individual and your unique characteristics that attribute to who you are as a person. "Remember no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Believing that you are in control of your life, you are responsible for your decisions, feelings and circumstances. You have the power to close your mind to comments that tear you down and lower your self -imagery or reinforce negative thinking. Try opening your mind to the comments and feedback from others that build positive self- imagery in which will lead to positive thinking.
