This Mirror Life

The good you find in others, is in you too.

The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.

After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.

The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.

The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you
the person you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.

To blame and complain will only make matters worse.

Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.

What you see in others, shows you yourself.

See the best in others, and you will be your best.

Give to others, and you give to yourself.

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.

Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love, and you will be loved.

Seek to understand, and you will be understood.

Listen, and your voice will be heard.

Teach, and you will learn.

Show your best face to the mirror, and you'll be happy
with the face looking back at you.

If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth
and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the
eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. . . what
wine is so sparkling, so fragrant, so intoxicating, as potential!


Søren Kierkegaard
