Are you a candle or a mirror?

Most people are somewhere in the middle. The example you set (as a mirror) is a way of sharing how you feel based on your behaviors. Gossiping, complaining, and being pessimistic show those in your life that you are unhappy and feeling low. The same is true for the opposite behaviors. Positive, affirming comments transmit to the world that you are happy, friendly, and optimistic. What is your mirror reflecting? Let your actions reflect your true beliefs and values.

Hi MsEdge, I have been called an eternal optimist by many so my mirror is reflecting very positive thoughts, the light of the candle flickers at times but I am human. LOL. Ellie :D

Heh, sorry to butt in but that is pretty cool! I am very pessemistic but perfer to keep to myself unless necessary. I guess I'm the plastic part of the cosmetic mirror then!

I am somewhere in the middle like lots of people. Sometimes, I am over cofident and thus become very optimistic. However, I can be negative too. It always depends...
