The Man in the Mirror PROJECT - A Game of Becoming

What can we look at in ourselves that we can change to change our world and in turn the world around us?  If we change our hair color, we change the way people look at us, but we don't change the way the world works.  If we become skinnier we can change the way we look, but we don't change who we are.

What if we changed the way we thought about ourselves?  What if we attempted to think we were infinite beings with tremendous energy and potential?  Would it change our thoughts about what we could do in our lives?

Just for today lets play a game.  Choose one of the following characters to be for just today:

  • Angel
  • Superman
  • Fairy Godmother
The catch is that you are in disguise.  No one can know who you are.  From the outside you look like your normal self, but on the inside you know you are . .  . . a fairy godmother for instance.  All day you will look at everyone as if you are a fairy godmother.  Heavens, you might even want to bless someone with a fairy godmother present!  If you are an angel, you must act as one.  Blessing everyone you meet, and knowing that all beings are love.  If you choose Superman, perhaps you become invincible and begin to feel the strength inside of you and help little old ladies cross the street.  You may not be able to fly them across (or maybe you can), but you can certainly help a fellow human do a task or assist them in some way.

This isn't necessarily about helping others, its more about the feeling we get when we "become" the change we wish to see.  There is a power in believing and when you can believe you are a super being other than yourself, I want you to feel what it "feels" like.  Later you can refer to this feeling, knowing you have the potential to become whatever you choose.

I am choosing an English Fairy Godmother.  My children will most likely leave the house today, but I know my dogs will still listen.  Cheerio!
