The Nature of Oneself

Many people however, choose not to let religion affect their way and outlook on life which is related to the fact that, that mirror hasn't yet shined on them or just perhaps reject the possibility of such a reflection of life for whatever reason this may be such as being caught up with ways preferred to view life.
             The mirror of self-perception and emotions may be thought of as most powerful as it can totally inspire or completely dampen ones belief in their self. Looking at life positively and saying "I can" as opposed to putting oneself down constantly can make so much of a difference. For example having a mind block against a certain subject and repeatedly telling yourself you are not capable. But by giving yourself a change, by viewing yourself from a positive angle you have a better chance at believing in yourself. By doing this you may never become a professor of the subject, but more than likely succeed with the necessary practice. What we think about something ourselves (i.e. ego) also convinces ourself which can be called self prophecy. "Ego" becomes a fellow worksheet in the construction of our character.
             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).
