How would you look tomorrow if all mirrors and reflective surfaces were destroyed today? Okay, so maybe that isn't going to happen, but imagine the world if you never knew what you looked like to others.
If we couldn’t see ourselves as we believe "others" see us, would we still buy beauty products to apply by memory? If we didn't “know” how we appeared to others, would we care? Would we use that time more wisely instead of spending hours trying to recreate our daily idea of “perfect” ?
You may say, “No, if I couldn’t see myself I probably wouldn’t care, but think about it, deep down could you really let go of that vain part of yourself? After all, our physical appearance is a large part of our identity, as superficial as it seems.
But if we could do away with all reflective surfaces we might discover some interesting things about ourselves. For instance, the meanest, most critical person in your life is probably that person you see in the mirror, so what would you do if that person, who is your harshest critic couldn’t hurt you anymore?
Try it today, use your other senses, look beyond what is in the mirror, and discover the real you.
Once you have rediscovered yourself, give your friends, relatives, and acquaintances the same advantage.
If you take the time to really listen to others, you will discover something wonderful. There are some very interesting and unique people in this world that are only visible when you care enough to "look" beyond the physical and "see" them with your heart.
