The Mirror Effect Featured

 Why have you refused to reach your potential? Am I wrong to say it is because you do not believe in yourself? I am right. Yes, I think I am. You have low self-esteem.

So, what is wrong with you?
Why do you not believe in yourself?
What is your excuse this time?
Why is there even an excuse?

I look at you, and I am seeing more than a million possibilities that you are making it. I did not say you will make it because it has gone beyond that. You are in progress, but the only limitation I see here is your mindset.

I had a conversation with a female friend. She was narrating the problems another friend of ours was going through because of her husband. I had to stop her when she said our collective friend has a problem. I don't think she has a problem. I think her husband is the one with the situation. Soon, she would have accumulated enough knowledge about her situation, and she will start asking questions which is what she is doing now. Soon she will understand the issues at hand, and she will discover she's being abused. At this point, some people will tell you that they know their rights. Knowledge is power. The moment she finds who she is, she will act. The moment she understands she is being abused and the husband is in real trouble. I have seen this same drama play a million times in different scenarios.

The single most significant key to your behaviour is your self-esteem. It's impossible to consistently behave in a manner inconsistent with how you see yourself. You can positively do very few things if you feel negative about yourself. No factor is more critical in your psychological development and motivation than the value judgments you make about yourself. Every aspect of your life is impacted by the way you see yourself. If you believe you are worthless, then you won't add value to yourself. No factor is more critical in your psychological development and motivation than the value judgments you make about yourself. You will be unable to out-perform your self-image.

Self-esteem, also known as self-worth and self-respect, is the opinion you have about yourself. It is magical because the way you share your worthiness with others is through your attitude, behaviour, character, and mannerism. In psychology, your self-esteem is used to describe your sense of self-worth or personal value. In other words, it is how much you like yourself. Your self-esteem involves various beliefs about yourself, such as how you look, how you feel and how you gauge your personal successes or failures.

If you have healthy self-esteem, you are likely to feel optimistic about your abilities and have a sunnier approach to life, in general. Whereas if you have low self-esteem, studies have linked poor self-image with various problems that can affect everything from the way you view your life, your career, your endeavours, and how you conduct your relationships. If you feel negative about yourself or your life to the extent that it's impacting your ability to function, I recommend speaking to your GP or considering talking therapy.

Self-esteem is the degree to which you feel confident, valuable, and worthy of respect. It exists on a continuum from high to low. Where a person's self-esteem falls on this spectrum can influence one's overall well-being. People with high self-esteem often feel good about themselves and their progress through life. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often spend lots of time criticising themselves. Low self-esteem is a symptom of several mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. People with low self-esteem are likely to have a downgrading opinion of themselves.

People will always value you to the extent you love yourself. Stop making every issue about them. You were the one that placed the price tag on your forehead, and they saw the value you gave yourself; hence they devalued you. They did not disvalue you because you are not valuable, but they did because you informed them you are not valuable. If you put a small value on yourself, rest assured the world will not raise the price. If you want to become the person you have the potential to be, you must believe you can.

The moment you limit what you will do, you have eventually limited what you can do. One of the reasons you have low self-esteem is because you have some limiting beliefs. You must move beyond your limiting beliefs if your desire is to be successful in life. If you don't believe you can accomplish anything, then you won't. Prayer cannot change this fact. You need to renew your mind and change the thoughts in your mind for prayer to influence your desires. Low self-esteem can contribute to mental health concerns. Low self-esteem has long-term damaging effects.

The mirror effect reflects oneself through the gaze of others. It is used in education as a metacognition tool and as a vector of knowledge. The mirror effect can be obtained directly from another person through observation, listening to his or her comments, or watching a video. Mirroring is the behaviours in which one person unconsciously imitates the gesture, speech pattern, or attitude. The ability to mimic another person's actions allows the infant to establish a sense of empathy and thus begin to understand another person's emotions.

The Law of the Mirror proposes that the origin of our negative feelings towards another person is within our "heart" and not in the other person. What this law teaches us is that emotions are born from within ourselves. Anger is usually born towards oneself and not towards the other person.
The mirror effect is about the value you see in yourself to add value to yourself. The general attitude about life is the fact that people invest in what is valuable. When last did you invest in yourself? You are not investing in yourself because you have not seen the value in yourself. How can you add value to others if you don't have value or have not added value to yourself? In life, you cannot give to others what you don't have.

In life, you tend to get whatever you are willing to tolerate. If you allow others to disrespect you and trip all over you, you will be disrespected in magnitude more than you anticipate. If you accept abuse, you will be abused. If you think it is OK to be overworked and underpaid, then your prayers will be answered. If you want to feel valued, you must add value to others. Learn to live a valued centred life.

Contributing to other people and adding value to their lives is the tangible means to gain another person's buy-in, and through this means you will get others to believe in you. For apparent reasons, this is important in many facets of life: leadership, friendships, relationships, connecting with new people, and especially with your family. If you want people to respect and regard you, then you must add value to their lives—otherwise, you're just dead weight.

    Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I
    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated! https://cryptoboss351.top/

    The "presence" asserted by the London Women's March is a foundational political act, a deliberate and collective occupation of physical and psychic space in a world that often seeks to marginalize dissent. This is not merely about being seen; it is about the forceful implantation of a counter-narrative into the heart of the established order. The march declares, through its massed bodies, that a significant political constituency exists and that it will not be quieted, ignored, or relegated to the sidelines. This presence is a direct challenge to erasure, whether that erasure is cultural, political, or historical. Politically, the act of taking up space is a rehearsal of power, a demonstration of the movement's capacity to command attention and disrupt the normal flow of city life, if only for a day. However, presence alone is a form of speech without a specified audience or demand. Its political power is contingent on what that presence signifies and what it is intended to trigger. The presence of the London Women's March must be legible as a threat to the status quo and a promise of alternative power; otherwise, it risks becoming a tolerated, even picturesque, civic ritual that poses no real challenge to the existing structures of authority.

    The "solidarity" performed at the London Women's March is its operational political theology, the binding agent that transforms a collection of disparate grievances into a collective force. This solidarity is active, not passive; it is the choice to stand alongside others whose immediate struggles may differ from one's own, based on a shared analysis of interlocking systems of power. It is the recognition that an attack on the rights of trans women or migrant women is an attack on the integrity of the entire movement. Politically, this expansive solidarity is what grants the march its moral authority and strategic depth. It builds a coalition broad enough to be formidable. However, the practice of this solidarity is the movement's greatest internal political challenge. It requires those with relative privilege to actively listen, to yield platform space, to fight for issues that may not impact them directly, and to accept criticism. It is easy to proclaim solidarity in a crowd; it is harder to enact it in the allocation of resources, the composition of speaker lineups, and the prioritization of campaigns. The march is a mass ritual of solidarity, but its political truth is tested in the quieter, more difficult decisions made by the movement's organizers and participants when the streets are empty.

    The "determination" palpable at the London Women's March is the essential emotional substrate that bridges the exhilarating energy of the initial protest with the gritty perseverance required for long-term political struggle. Determination is what remains after the collective euphoria of the march dissipates; it is the quiet resolve to continue showing up—to council meetings, to MP surgeries, to tedious organizing sessions. The public, mass display of this determination during the march serves a critical political function: it signals to both allies and opponents that this is not a fleeting outburst but a sustained, resilient force. This visible resolve raises the political cost of ignoring the movement's demands. Determination is politically multifaceted; it is the determination to maintain coalitional unity despite internal fractures, to persist with complex policy advocacy when simple slogans are easier, and to sustain political pressure across electoral cycles when attention wanders. The London Women's March, as an annual event, is a ritualized reaffirmation of this collective determination. It is a yearly muster, a recalibration, and a public rededication to the struggle. In this way, the march is less the proof of determination than its renewable source, a generator that replenishes the will to continue the less visible, daily work of bending the arc of the political system toward justice.

    The "resistance" embodied by the London Women's March is a multifaceted political identity, framing the movement not merely as advocacy for progressive policies but as active opposition to regressive forces. This framing of "resistance" is deeply intentional, situating the march within a narrative of pushing back against the agendas of governments, parties, or social movements seen as threatening hard-won rights and democratic norms. It is a stance of defiance, a refusal to normalize policies or rhetoric deemed xenophobic, misogynistic, or authoritarian. This identity fosters a sense of urgency and solidarity in the face of a perceived common threat, which can be powerfully galvanizing. However, the politics of "resistance" also come with potential pitfalls. It can predispose the movement to a reactive stance, constantly defining itself against others rather than by its own affirmative, detailed vision for the future. It can prioritize short-term defensive battles over the long-term, patient work of building alternative institutions and proposing comprehensive policy platforms. The political challenge for the London Women's March is to balance this necessary, energizing spirit of resistance with the proactive, constructive work of articulating and fighting for a tangible, better world. The most durable and transformative resistance may ultimately be the one that convincingly builds what it seeks to preserve and advance.
