Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the
House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and 
decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the
 doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted 
high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found
 himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging 
just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 
great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to 
himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
 
 
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as
 
the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and 
hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 
unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was 
horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought
 to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again." 
 
 
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you
 
see in the faces of the people you meet?

It is as true as night follows day that, whatever thought we send out will come back to us greatly multiplied, to bless us or to curse us, as is the nature of the original thought.

Circumstances do not make a man, They merely reveal the man to himself.

Environment is, but your looking glass.

Whenever I think of this story, I start to check and weed the garden of my mind and align it with the positive forces of the Universe...

    fantastic little story. The world is definately our mirror and 2 people can be seeing the same thing in totally different ways according to their past, their beliefs and thoughts and own perception.
