Life is not a Coincidence, it’s a Reflection.

Welcome back!


eagle_reflection_preview

A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself and screams: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in 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 answers: “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.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.
YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT’S A REFLECTION OF YOU!

Simple way to send a great message, and I love the photo! It’s so true that life throws back at us what we offer to it. Not always immediately but usually quite soon.

Hey Giovanna, Very simple, very concise, and very pursuasive post. It is great. I see your point “Life is Ecoh”. We will become the one we view ourselves.

Thank you for your powerful article.

Hi Giovanna,

The point of the story is so true. We create our reality and everything we do is a reflection of us. I think if more people knew that…they would behave so differently. Thanks again for another great post! :)

I love this analogy, as everything we do and say and think vibrates within us and reinforces that message. But what we should also remember is that those around us also absorb these vibrations, and that’s a powerful concept - that we have the power to positively influence the world at large with our actions!

Giovanna, first of all I love the photo. I love birds and the bald eagle is so majestic. Secondly the wisdom in the words is spot on as usual. I love the story about the echo in the canyon. Beautiful way to make a beautiful point.

What a great reminder. You are wise and wonderful (grin)
I love the image.

Christopher says: 29 March 2009 - 10:10 am

Love that picture!

John says: 29 March 2009 - 11:04 am

Life is an echo as well as our minds. What we create in our minds will reflect into our lives. And when we look back into some ones life as we buried a 92 year old mother of 13 yesterday it told us of her love of family that she had in her mind and her heart. And what is so wonderful about her life is that it also reflected in her children. So your echo will reflect into other peoples echos in their own lives also.
God bless

Hi John

I want to tell you to please send good thoughts from me to the family of the 92 year old mother you spoke of. “God bless all of them and many love.”
Our children are the greatest reflection of us. Everyday of our lifes we are making an impact, so we have got to do our best to make it a good one.

The other great thing about the echo - the more we do, the more we get. We are our only limitation.

I think it’s a beautiful photo too.

Bill Wilkinson, Florida Keys Realtor says: 29 March 2009 - 12:28 pm

Great post, with a great photo to add to the effect. So True!

Rami Alami says: 29 March 2009 - 2:09 pm

ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING STORY!!
it is WISDOM creatively passed on to our society!!
Its as SIMPLE as looking at oneself in the MIRROR (matches the concept of the BEAUTIFULL photo!)
YET sometimes we deny ourselves the chance to think of the simplicities of LIFE and the wisdom they carry!
Thanks Giovanna for your INSPIRATIONAL PASSION!!

Davina says: 29 March 2009 - 4:47 pm

Hi Giovanna. The photograph is incredible! And I enjoyed the story too. It is true that life is a reflection of ourselves… not always easy to see sometimes. But true.

Amen, sister. We are our only limitation :-) Thank you for your comment and sharing your thoughts.

Your story reminded me of one of my substitute teachers long ago. She said that she’s a mirror and she’ll reflect back what she gets.

[...] A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself and screams: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in 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 answers: “You are a champion!” The boy is surprised, but does not understand.

Hi J.D.

That substitute teacher sound like a very wise lady. In the horse world we always said, “The horse is the mirror to the rider.”
