Mirror Reflection

In physics the other day(those that absolutely hate physics may roll their eyes now and plead boring teachers) we learned that the distance we and the mirror are apart is well, mirrored by the mirror. That means if I'm 15 meters away from the mirror, it would look like I'm very very far away from the mirror. So actually it would look like I'm 30 meters away, so to speak.

Not understanding where this is all going?

Well, let's say you are the pink(or purple) car in that mirror. From this mirror, up close, it looks like it's quite far back. That's the actual distance.

But what if you're looking from the PINK car INTO the mirror FROM that distance?

He would see the himself there as freakishly far away.

It's double, if you think about it from the scientific point of view.

Still don't get a clue what I'm driving at yet with this?

Then forget the huge mumbo jumbo scientific nonsense for a minute. That's not what I'm getting at.

Let's take the mirror as the point in our life - our goal so to speak. The job we want, the love we pine for, the feeling of freedom of dream of, or just being able to see the daylight of tomorrow.

Take the distance as whatever hardship you could face in your life(pick one from your nice long list)

Our goals have the habit(like the mirror) to reflect the distance we have to travel, to make it twice as long as it is. It becomes longer, looks harder to traverse and seem like there's too much work to be done. Just the sight of ourselves in the mirror, standing far, far away is enough to terrify us. To make us unable to move.

And the distance remains.

But maybe if you can look past the fact that the hardships are merely doubled and overly exaggerated, and that if you work, if you move closer to that goal.......Then, like walking closer to a mirror, the you in the mirror seems more and more absurdly closer. And before you know, you're touching the mirror, the reflection of yourself blending oh-so-well with one another.

End moral of the story?

It's not that long. The length is magically created by your mind. So since it's magically created, it will magically poof away when you move your butt. It's not that hard as it seems to seize a goal.

Thus, seize it.

now where did i put that mirror of mine?
