Little Mirrors


What—or who—are your mirrors?

If your sense of identity relies too much on reflections from other people, it is possible you will be controlled by fear of their judgement. Friends, this is no good.

We are all mirrors to each other. It is good and right that we bear each other up and be generous with ourselves as we provide helpful reflections. But sometimes if we become slightly tinted, or steamed up, the subjectivity of our reflections may stop us being so generous and cause us to reflect back with criticism (which is wrong) and judgement (which is not ours to pronounce).

Let's not believe the lie that we do not know who we are, and instead take true reflections from the little mirrors that are intent on shining clear for us.

Who are your mirrors?
