Mirror, mirror on the wall

“Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.” - Rules For Being Human


I decided to go back to this list because I had an encounter with this very situation the other day. I knew that what the person was saying had nothing to do with who they were talking about. It had everything to do with them. A fact that was obvious to everyone except them. 

I find the above to be very true. Invariably, when someone is speaking, they are sharing a part of their inner world. Everything we connect to, whether positive or not, is on the same frequency as we are. If it isn’t, it doesn’t show up on our radar. We don’t even know it is out there. This process, that is so closely knit to who we are, is unconscious. Well maybe unconscious in the beginning. Yes there is good news. We can become more self aware. In fact this is a proposed path: start to listen to yourself. You heard me. Pay attention to what is coming out of your mouth. If you are always on the same cranky train then maybe you need to give yourself a tune up. Start by choosing your words and thinking before opening your mouth. It worked for me. I have faith it will work for anyone. 

The people who show up in your life are there to “mirror” you in the right direction. Pay attention! You might just learn something... about yourself.

Namaste!
