Man In The Mirror” to highlight how we see
ourselves.

opinions, and mindsets about us through
their words and behaviors.

judgment about ourselves.

and limiting.

using our imagination to think out of the
box than using the mirror.

mindset can help or harm the people we are
dealing with on a day-to-day basis.

negatively and influence them to make mistakes.

super positively and may constantly challenge them
so that they can prove their worth.

relationship?
