Many people as they grow older experience a shattering mirror. When they look in their bedroom mirror they no longer see their younger attractive self. They see the lines and wrinkles of age, the fatigue of weariness, their hopes disappointed, their loves lost, and they despair. But we are speaking of a second thing happening, a new and larger mirror replacing the shattered pieces, transforming into this larger and much clearer image. The image that appears in the new mirror is no longer the aged, lined, weary, and decrepit reflection, but is beautiful, young, and glowing with a quality of everlasting glory. What are we talking about? Seeing yourself as God sees you. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-05-06-Christ_Forgave_Me,_Paul#Transformation.2C_Vision Daniel]

==The Wise==
The wise are short on advice, and altogether non-judgmental. They know within themselves that valuable, often painful experiences have taught them to be humble, and to wait for God to show them the right direction. They have learned to listen attentively and talk sparingly. These are people who draw others to them, often by some innate quality that may be hard to define. They will always find inner peace – that tranquility of the soul – and never be anxious to gain fame or fortune, knowing that God has not placed them on this earth to tell others their opinions. Remember, it is appropriate to give advice only when it is asked for, and to always let the other person steer his or her own craft upon these turbulent earthly seas. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-05-17-Acquisition_of_Wisdom#Lesson Machiventa]
