Everyone
comes
into our life to mirror
back to us some part of
ourselves we cannot
or will not see.
They show us the parts
we need to work on or
let
go of. They
reveal
to us the things
we do and the effects
they have on ourselves
and
others. They
say
to us openly
the things we say to
ourselves silently.
They reveal
to us the fears,
doubts, weaknesses
and character
flaws
we know
we have but refuse
to address or
acknowledge.
We can usually see
the faults
of
others very clearly.
We all have
people
in our lives who anger
or
annoy us, who
rub us the wrong
way. They
may
create
confusion or chaos.
They may
bring pain
and disruption.
They
may reject us,
abandon
us and create some sort
of harm.
Before we get busy
trying to fix the
person or
remedy the situation, we
should ask ourselves,
Why is
this person in my
life? What
am I doing to draw this
to myself?
How do I do what
they do, and how
can I release
this need?
When we cleanse, heal
and bring ourselves
into balance,
everyone in our lives
will do the same or
disappear.
