It can be no other way--your world is a mirror! It continually validates your opinions about yourself by reflecting back to you what you are projecting outwardly.

I am always talking to myself, as are you. And what do I talk to myself about? I talk to myself about me in this world in which I live... and I talk to myself about the people I live with in this world... and that combination of conversations give me the kind of people (as I see it), that I live with in the world, and the kind of world I live in.
Hence, I create my world with the conversations I have with myself! If I change the conversations, my world changes. How powerful am I? How powerful are you This, right here is a great topic of conversation. Rob

I don't think I fully agreed with this statement. Yes, I agree that many times the way you see the world comes from your innate perception of yourself. But make no mistake, we do "live in the world as well." There are many instances I'm sure we can point to where external influences helped to shape how we think about some aspect of ourselves or our world.Scott wrote: ↑26 May 2022, 12:52 I highlighted this text from page 9 of The Maestro Monologuee by Rob White as something with I wholeheartedly agree:

So the way you see things is powerful, but it's not the only reason you see the world the way you do. Influences from outside yourself have something to say about it as well.
