Check Your Mirror

“Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.”

This design provides a broader field of vision, but it must be complemented with additional perspectives to navigate effectively. Apply this principle to your life: You often overestimate or underestimate the impact of events because you are looking through a distorted reflection.

Too often, the "mirror" through which you assess your life is skewed. This leads to inaccurate conclusions, which can result in poor decisions and suboptimal outcomes. A distorted perspective makes it difficult to move forward effectively and with confidence.

Adjust your mirror. Work to "bend" it back to true by seeking clarity through self-awareness, honest reflection. Leverage the valuable perspectives of those you trust. Work to gain a clearer and more accurate understanding of your journey.

Beware not to become consumed by constant self-reflection. A driver fixated on the rearview mirror will inevitably make mistakes on the road ahead. Balance is key—learn from the past, but do not dwell there.
