And while I do think individuals reflect aspects of our Selves that we like and even don’t like, this morning I developed a new understanding of this mirror phenomenon....
Before you can become the version of your Self you desire, you have to first believe you are already that person. At a minimum, you have to believe you are capable of becoming that person, but truthfully, I don’t think that is strong enough. I think you need to actually believe that you are the version of your Self you are before you actually see it. Once you believe, you will naturally begin to draw on that future version of your Self, feeling as you would, doing what you would, and...
