We see the things as we are (IM 771)

Based on your past experiences we make assumptions and conclusions on many things including our ourselves and our potentials. The way we talk to others or to ourselves reveals our character. The way we deal with different situations shows our strength and weakness. Every step we take is the reflection of our character, our mindset, our loopholes, our worth and ourselves as a whole. So before taking any action we got to realize and ask ourselves what does this mean to me? Does this mean something more? Is it really that important? Why is this happening? What is the best approach to deal with this situation?
