Reflection and Perception

I often ponder my thoughts and feelings, and their connection to my experiences. There seems to be two aspects of myself: one that acts based on my thoughts and emotions, influenced by external expectations, and another that acts with autonomy, driven by free will.

What if life were a journey of exploration and living a finite experience?

The reflection in the mirror or whatever is occurring in the world can be a constant reminder. While attributing our experiences to external factors is tempting, ultimately, we are the common denominator in each of our experiences. Our thoughts and emotions shape our decisions and outcomes. In this interplay, they reside within us, and what we see in the mirror reflects what is seen both outside and within us.

What if our daily tasks were as simple as making our bed and setting the table? Rather than fixating on our to-do list, what if we focused on our personal experience in each moment? By doing so, we’d naturally build upon our desired experience.

What is your intention? Where is your attention directed?

Is it more fulfilling to feel good about how you spend your time or to expect satisfaction from outcomes?

We are each here to experience life. Your experience is what you leave behind.

So, do you give your power away? If so, where?
