To learn to step back and view your life from a third person perspective is to see parts of yourself in every encounter and relationship.  Why would you wish to do do this? 

Part of your life mission is to learn to review aspects of your life without having your ego involved.  Such a conscious move toward greater objectivity will enable you to experience increased empathy.  It will also empower you to make a more honest assessment of where you are, how you view yourself, and where you wish to be.

What would it take for you to come to grips with the idea your mind shapes the reality you choose outside yourself? When have you sensed your thoughts and beliefs determine where you are?  Imagine the nature of your positive transformation as you realize you have the power to make significant changes in how you behave and what you value.

Events are in a process of unfolding.  Nothing is unconnected.  Many things are within your control.  From the moment you realize you can get excited about sources of meaning in your life, you are already redefining your own version of success.   You exist by choice.  Your decisions to perceive, interpret and learn are part of your mission.
