Finding Yourself in the Middle of Life

Have you ever walked past a shop window and been so caught up looking at the items inside that you forgot you were there? You might be staring at a gold watch or a beautiful ring. You think about how much it costs or who made it. Your mind is busy with the story of the jewelry.

Then something happens. You shift your eyes just a little bit. You relax your focus on the items behind the glass. Suddenly you see your own face staring back at you. Your reflection was there the whole time. You just did not see it because you were too busy looking at the things inside.

This is exactly how our minds work. We get so caught up in the stories of our lives that we forget who we are. We focus on our problems or our plans. We focus on how we feel and why we feel that way. We are looking at the jewelry and missing the mirror.
