If you learn to recognize the distorted mirrors and call them by their names, the mirrors lose their power.  You will be able to work through your house of mirrors and enjoy the trip, free from the twisted thinking and distorted emotions that formerly controlled your mind.

Some mirrors are so distorted that they deserve to be shattered.  Superstitious people believe when you break a mirror, it brings seven years of bad luck.  The good news is when you break the destructive mirrors associated with depression, you have good luck for the rest of your life.

Unfortunately, some of the mirrors are indestructible.  They will remain until the day you die.  The only way to deal with their reflections is to ignore them.

Each time a destructive emotion is reflected in your heart and mind, you must closely examine the mirror from which it came.  God gave you a mind and He expects you to use it.  You have the power to look at all the mirrors that create your emotions.  You need to get up close and personal with each of those mirrors and see whether they give an accurate reflection.

Good mirrors give true reflections.  Distorted mirrors give distorted ones and can't be trusted.  When negative and depressing emotions poke up their ugly heads, it's time to check out the mirrors in your mind.
