And how we view life is affected by many reflections of who you ‘are and what you want to become. And our lives and how we live it is determined by “mirrors” we choose to obtain the reflection from. Hypothetically speaking, if you look at the world through pink glasses you will view the world and all things in it as pink and so, though these glasses you will believe that we have and are living in a pink world!

Self is the reflection of various ‘mirrors of life’ which changes constantly as we grow. I believe there are three main mirrors of life which govern the way we perceive life from these different angles. It can be considered the determining factor of our personalities and how we come to who we are today, next year and five years ago. Our personalities are all unique, and what we believe in, the different choices we make, our style, or taste or joys and depressions are all molded by these three mirrors of life: the ‘spiritual mirror’, the ‘mirror of self-perception and emotions’ and the ‘social mirror’.

The emotional life is very much tied into our social life as it is primarily (but not only) molded by our relationships with others. This may be thought of as mirrors painted by others and other things which are sometimes not positive e.g. peer pressure into being someone we are really not, but this mirror also allows us to see other possibilities for ourselves which could possibly enhance our character and color our personalities. We can then seek these opportunities to experiment with our appearance and evaluate how we feel with each change. How we behave, react to certain circumstances and think is (by majority) affected by others and things around us (such as Media) and also how people view us. (For example, if you are always looked upon as a leader by others you will automatically live up to their expectations).

As our lives, and the way we live them, are determined by the different choices we make. And who we are as people is the combined effect of the different mirrors chosen by us forming one complex reflection…………… our personalities!
