Transcript of The Takeaway - Reflection
Your life is a reflection of you
Here's the story about a boy and his father out walking in the mountains.
Suddenly the son falls, hurts himself, and in pain screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
To his surprise, he hears a voice repeating, somewhere on the mountain: AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?" He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention." And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!" The voice answers: I admire you!"
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!" The voice retorts: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised but does not understand.
Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really, this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. Life will give you back everything you have given it."
YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE: IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU. IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAJORITY OF YOUR TROUBLES, TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
WHATEVER YOU ATTACH CONSISTENTLY TO THE WORDS "I AM," YOU WILL BECOME.
